Hague Express Database – is a database created by the World Intellectual Property Organization which is updated weekly and contains information on internationally registered industrial designs and the history of international registrations governed by the Acts of the Hague Agreement Concerning the Registration of Industrial Designs. Potential users of the system are all interested in industrial design information, i.e. national patent offices, industrial designers, applicants, patent attorneys and patent analysts.

The service is available in the Internet free of charge, registration and authorization are not required. The Hague Express Database allows the user to search for information on industrial designs by their design (i.e. appearance), name, document number, filing date, date of registration or publication, as well as by the name of the country of the applicant or right holder. Such a set of search fields is sufficient for building relevant search queries that meet almost any task.

The search results page, which is opened after the user has completed each query, contains all the information necessary to identify the industrial design and to obtain a basic knowledge of its registration. Taking into account the fullness of the patent fund of the Hague Express Database, this makes this system quite popular among its target audience members.
