INSIGHT epi - The podcast for European patent professionals

Patent Information Professionals and their certification (QPIP)

epi - European Patent Institute

29 April 2025  |  The quality of a patent or an entire IP strategy depends very much on the quality of the information behind it.  This is when Patent Information Professionals or ‘searchers’ come into play. What types of searches do they conduct? How do you know that a searcher has the necessary expertise and experience? Bart van Wezenbeek speaks with Carla Scorsini and Bettina de Jong about the profession and about the QPIP certification.
