WIPO state-of-the-art search program for developing countries

Wipo

World Patent Information, 1980, vol. 2, issue 4, 164-168

Abstract: The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has organized, since September 1975, for the benefit of developing countries, a free-of-charge state-of-the-art search program based upon the use of patent documents as a vehicle for the transfer of technology. The many varied features of patent documents are discussed together with the various types of searches possible. WIPO's search program started following an agreement of cooperation with the Austrian Government and has recently been augmented by agreements with Germany (Federal Republic of), Soviet Union, Sweden, Switzerland and the European Patent Office. Up to the end of June 1980, 839 requests for searches had been received, of which 637 had been finalized. The number of requests is steadily growing -- illustrating the positive reaction to the program.
