Ray Taylor

World Patent Information, 1990, vol. 12, issue 3, 151-154

Abstract: The article describes the production of a 10-year plan for the automation of the Canadian Patent Office. Starting in 1986 the plan alloted 2 years to an operational planning stage, which determined the feasibility of patent automation and planned its implementation. The plan includes four phases over the years 1989-1996 covering an operational planning phase, a core system establishment phase for limited databases and workstations, enlargement of the core system to encompass all office internal systems, and finally establishment of the full system including arrangements for the wide dissemination of patent information throughout Canada. The system will include examiner search and support, workflow processing, backfile conversion, management support and dissemination of information.
