The Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property was founded in Bern in 1888. It is the Federal Agency for intellectual property matters but has its own legal personality and is independent of the Swiss Federal budget. Its primary role is as a first point of contact for customers who need industrial property rights. The site provides background information about patents, trademarks, designs and copyright, with links to further details. Forms for completion and submission are available to download in Word and PDF formats. The Institute has its own library and the site provides a bibliography of texts on different aspects of intellectual property law. There is also information about projects managed at the Institute. The site is available in German, English, French, Italian and Romansch.
