"Football and Technology" - on the DPMA website

By Johanna Gibson, David Pearce, Jeremy Phillips and Ilanah Simon.

ADVERTISEMENTS
The Football World Cup, there is no escape at the moment, not even on this blog. The sport, the excitement, the drama and... the IP?!

On its website, the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA) has published a surprisingly detailed collection of information relating to football, technology and patents:

"a selection of typical inventions from patent literature and a brief historical overview of the technical development of football."
What's even better, the DPMA offers this delight not only in a German version but also in English. The DPMA's football special offers to direct links to patents (DE, WO, FR, US, etc.) relating to all things football, from pitch, goal, footwear to players' clothing to stadium construction and match analysis. So, in the words of the DPMA, if you "wonder how football and technology fit together" and if you are keen "to look at the history of football from a different angle", then this is the link for you.

Click here for the English version and here for the German version. Start by reading the "introduction" part of the website - the whole thing is rather fun.

FIFA's website can be found here.
The website of Swiss FC Trubschachen , a club clearly in favour of cats on the field, can be found here.
