PAPERZ IP is building up a specialist archive on manufactured goods (fashion, interior design, toys, motifs) made up of books, magazines and sales catalogues. The firm also undertakes searches in museums, such as the Musée International de la Chaussure (International Footwear Museum in Romans) and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris). PAPERZ IP consequently offers an effective prior art search service as a precautionary measure and also as part of legal proceedings.
