Become a QPIP™

QPIP certification can be obtained by successfully passing the QPIP examination. The ISBQPIP will organise the exams in an online format at least once every two years at the end of February/early March. The exams are open for patent information professionals in all countries and will be provided for five time regions across the world. The exams are spread over two full days.                              

There has been a one-time opportunity for experienced patent information professionals to obtain QPIP certification via Prior Experience Recognition (PER), based on provided evidence in most countries. In due course this PER opportunity will only become available for residents of China, Japan, South Korea and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea).
