FIPS

FIPS is the official intellectual property database of the Russian Federal Institute of Industrial Property, providing comprehensive access to Russian patents, utility models, trademarks, and industrial designs. The platform serves as the primary tool for searching and retrieving Russian patent documents, containing millions of records spanning decades of intellectual property filings in Russia. Users can search by keywords, patent numbers, applicant names, IPC classification codes, and other criteria. Each record includes the full bibliographic data, abstract, claims, and often the complete description of the invention. For companies operating in the Russian market or monitoring global patent activity, FIPS is an essential resource for freedom-to-operate analyses, patentability assessments, and competitive intelligence. The database also provides access to the legal status of patents, including grant dates, maintenance fee payments, and expiration information.
