We received a series of jewelry and watches catalogs from the years 2000 and onwards. A big thank you to Annick Mottet from the law firm Ethikos (Belgium) for giving us these precious paper works from Prada, Fendi, Bell&Ross, Chopard, Swatch…! Not only do they hold interesting designs, but they are dated and in paper format, thus constitute indisputable evidence.
And that is precisely the objective of Paperz IP: finding dated evidence which cannot be contested. That is why we have put up a specific library which now holds thousands of books, magazines, sales brochures and catalogs in paper format.
These works are very useful when we do prior art searches on designs and trademarks.
Of course we have also developed information management systems (designs database, digital library etc.) to enable us to accelerate the research.
