The simplified legal status gives an overview of the current status of a patent within its life cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be quite cumbersome and sometimes difficult to find out what the actual status of a patent is. A patent goes through a long life cycle with many events along the way. From the start during the procedure at the different patent offices, the term “patent pending” is normally used until it eventually becomes a granted and alive patent. If the application is revoked\/withdrawn or not granted, it will just stay as published patent in the database. To make it easier to visualize the actual legal status of the patent green, yellow and red are used throughout the IamIP Platform to give a hint on the actual status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
