Abstract: The growth in the volume of documentation at the EPO has led to the development of an Automation Plan. The development of the EPOQUE search tool is now being completed by an electronic image handling system (BACON) covering the entire PCT minimum documentation plus other EPO member states' documents and by the First Page system giving online access to the contents of the first page of European, JP and U.S. patent documents, including the abstract and drawings. Following trials, the systems will be available to all examiners at the EPO from 1994-1995.
