WIPO - patent-search tool for easy access to medicine patents

WIPO and the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations (IFPMA) have launched a new online tool designed to provide easy access to medicine patent information.
The Patent Information Initiative for Medicines (Pat-INFORMED) provides information about patents covering approved medicines through a free, open access database. Anyone can search the Pat-INFORMED database simply by entering a medicine’s INN (International Nonproprietary Name) to obtain relevant information about the status of a patent in a particular country.
