Introduction
The National Institute of Intellectual Property (INAPI) is the website of the intellectual property office of Chile. The website and all search forms are in Spanish, so users can utilize Google Translate to translate the website into their chosen language. All quotes from this website are translated from Spanish to English. On the homepage of the portal, users can find a list of links ("Shortcuts") which directly access a number of IP-related publications and databases:[1]
