About us

IP is an ocean.

Nobody has ever seen the bottom of it. We just brought better goggles.

Who is behind this

DO Innovations SA is a Swiss IP boutique based in Lausanne, working with every type of IP right in Switzerland and Ukraine. Clients from garage bands to multinationals. That is the day job, and it lives over on the serious website.

Markling serves a different purpose. We are convinced that IP is the most amusing area of law in existence.

So we gave the fun part its own website, and we put a duck in charge. He takes it very seriously.

The chart is never finished

This site keeps growing: new firms, new links, new articles, new quizzes.

Help us make it more complete - every corner of this site takes contributions:

  • A firm or service that belongs in the book → tell us, and we will look at it for the IP Pages
  • A tool or database the profession should bookmark → the bookmark bar has room
  • Something worth reading over coffee → the reading room takes submissions
  • A mistake, anywhere → tell us and we will fix it the same week

Markling is educational, independent in its listings, and openly labelled where it is sponsored. Nothing here is legal advice. For that, you want the people at DO Innovations. The duck answers to Quill.
