News (here) from WIPO that the Patentscope database (here) is available to search in Arabic (here).

The WIPO website says that "The PATENTSCOPE database provides access to international Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications in full text format on the day of publication, as well as to patent documents of participating national and regional patent offices. The information may be searched by entering keywords, names of applicants, international patent classification and many other search criteria in multiple languages."


The news item says" The PATENTSCOPE search system is now available in Arabic in addition to the nine existing languages. It is now possible to do the following exclusively in Arabic:
