Provision of patent information: a national patent office perspective

Michael Blackman

World Patent Information, 1995, vol. 17, issue 2, 115-123

Abstract: This article is based on a lecture delivered at the International Chemical Information Conference at Annecy, France in October 1994. It complemented lectures provided by the European Patent Office (EPO) in recent years at this conference.(1) The changes that have taken place regionally and nationally over the last 15 years in the wake of the establishment of the EPO are outlined, such as the reduced input to national offices and their increased role as information providers of both patent and trade mark information. As an example of these changes, the effects on the UK Patent Office (UKPO) and the range of services now provided are described in some detail. Extracts from the UKPO's awareness campaign on intellectual property and patent information are provided. Patent information and search services provided by other organisations in the United Kingdom are also described.
