As of 16 March 2015, the Turkish Patent Office (TPI) has made its industrial design data available to the Designview search tool.
The incorporation of TPI is due to the efforts of the International Cooperation programme managed by OHIM in collaboration with its international partners.
With TPI on-board, there are now 28 participating offices in Designview. With the addition of 450,000 designs provided by TPI, Designview now provides information and access to around 4,1 million designs in total.
Since the introduction of Designview on 19 November 2012, the tool has served more than 920,000 searches from 139 different countries, with users from Spain, Germany and the UK among the most frequent visitors.
