Connecting the IP World
The secure network where IP professionals finally operate as one.
Stop managing IP instructions by email or portals. Start operating on a shared, standardized API-first network — without changing any of your systems or existing workflows.
IP communication is broken. You know it.
Behind every patent or trademark filing lies a chain of instructions between applicants, firms, and offices — still managed by email.
The endless email
In 2024, 3.7 million patent applications were filed worldwide (WIPO), each generating dozens of instructions. Over 1 million involved a foreign agent. Millions of emails, different formats, no shared standard.
Constant rekeying
Every piece of information received by email needs manual re-entry into your IPMS. A single missed deadline can mean permanent loss of rights — and malpractice liability up to hundreds of millions.
Fragmentation
Each foreign agent has their own format, timeline, and channel. With filings growing 4.9% yearly and 1M+ cross-border applications, scaling means scaling chaos — unless you change the system.
One network. One standard. Zero friction.
Welqin replaces fragmented email exchanges and Web portals with a secure, standardized network where data flows directly into your systems.
Plug & Play
Connect in days, not months. Welqin integrates with your existing IPMS through a simple portal or API. No migration, no disruption. Firms and IP owners of all sizes join at their own pace.
Standardized
Built on the AFNOR NF X50-276 standard — the only official IP data exchange framework. Developed by IP professionals over 5 years under the aegis of AFNOR. An industry standard, not a proprietary format.
Secure
Your data stays yours. Welqin is the messenger, not the owner. European hosting, GDPR compliance, designed for the confidentiality requirements expected by IP professionals.
Three steps to transform your IP operations
From onboarding to automation, Welqin gets you connected to the network in days — not months.

What SWIFT did for banking, Welqin does for IP.
Before SWIFT, banks exchanged instructions by telex — manually, inconsistently. SWIFT created a standardized network that transformed global finance.
Today, 3.7M patent and 11.7M trademark applications generate millions of instructions exchanged by email. Welqin is the answer: one network, one standard, where every IP stakeholder exchanges data that flows automatically.
