June
This system has been updated since our last review. During our next scheduled update, this article will be revised to include a description of the newly added content and features.
A completely overhauled beta version of Surf IP was introduced for testing in 2010. This version appears to have many similarities to the IPEXL search engine.
2006
Surf IP does not provide a section describing updates to the site. Additional database coverage was added sometime after the first quarter of 2006, including data from the Japan Patent Office (JPO), Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (UK-IPO), Thailand Intellectual Property Information Center (TIPIC), and US published applications.
