The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation - Regulation EU 2016/679), which entered into full force on 25 may 2018, caused several changes to the internal procedures of the INPI (Portuguese Institute of Industrial Property), namely for assuring the necessary protection of data concerning individuals. 

As such, the INPI has informed that the selling of “structured information products”, which cover bibliographic data of publications and applications, are discontinued as from the said date.
