Abstract: The article details the various steps taken in automation of the administration and documentation departments of the Chinese office. In the management system, bibliographic and administrative data of all Chinese patent applications from the opening date of the office (1985) is stored in the Chinese language. A patent information system, also in Chinese, comprises bibliographic data, abstracts, independent claims and indexed keywords of all published Chinese patent applications, accepted utility models and granted patents. A condensed version of this database, including bibliographic and keyword items, is used on microcomputers and provided to offices in the Chinese provinces. Abstracts of published Chinese patent applications, granted patents and utility models are stored in English in a third database and magnetic tapes produced from this database are used to disseminate patent information to other offices worldwide. Services provided to the public using the various databases are described.
