The future of European patent information

Curt Edfjäll

World Patent Information, 2008, vol. 30, issue 2, 135-138

Abstract: In the context of the 50th anniversary of the PDG, and from the EPO's perspective, the author explores a number of scenarios for future trends and new developments for patent information. In addition to the extension of current trends and the possibility of sudden and unpredictable events - fulgurations, the possibilities of market led, geopolitical led, society and non-governmental organisations led and technology led scenarios are explored.
