PhilPAT lists the bibliographic data of Philippine patents which detail patent category, application or serial number, patent number, filing date, issue date, title, International Patent Classification (IPC), national classification system (PH Class), inventor, applicant or assignee, abstract, and representative drawings (when applicable).

Under issued or granted patents, PhilPAT has a total of 60,105 records to-date comprised of 35,741 inventions, 14,459 utility models and 9,905 industrial designs. PhilPAT also has 1,839 records of patent applications from 1998 when the Intellectual Property Code was enacted, consisting of 747 inventions, 312 utility models, and 780 industrial designs.

PhilPAT has links to the European Patent Office (EPO), US Patent Office (USPTO), Japan Patent Office (JPO) and World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). It has two types of search pages, the Quick Search and the Advanced Search.

Prior to the launch, PhilPAT was used by researchers in the academe who provided feedback on the functionality of the web application. PhilPAT was launched during the Intellectual Property Rights Week.  

Another online project in the pipeline is the e-Gazette Patents. e-Gazette Patents is the web-based version of the IPO Gazette, the official publication of IP Philippines on patents. It will contain patent information regarding pending, issued, and approved patents of inventions, utility models, industrial designs and integrated circuits.

The first issue of e-Gazette Patents will contain a total of 687 published and granted or registered patent documents consisting of 368 published applications and 319 granted or registered applications. It will be uploaded on a weekly basis. In addition, a CD-ROM containing the uploaded e-Gazette Patents for the quarter will be released.
