The Industrial Property Office of Liechtenstein belongs to the Office of Economic Affairs (AVW) under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Economy and Sports, with its official website at [http://www.avw.llv.li/](http://www.avw.llv.li/). As the national administrative authority for industrial property in Liechtenstein, it administers filing, examination, registration, renewal, opposition and invalidity proceedings for trademarks, industrial designs, geographical indications and handles matters related to copyright and neighbouring rights. It maintains official registers and public‑access databases for intellectual property rights.

The office takes part in multilateral frameworks including WIPO and the EU Intellectual Property Network. Its trademark data is integrated into the European TMview database, facilitating both national filings and international trademark registration under the Madrid System. Its official website supplies application forms, procedural guidelines, fee schedules, online register search and legal documents for local and foreign applicants. For patents, Liechtenstein applies Swiss‑relevant patent practice; this office receives applications while substantive examination is implemented via cooperative arrangements. It delivers institutional support for domestic innovation and commercial activities within Liechtenstein.
