World Patent Information, 1979, vol. 1, issue 2, 60-68

Abstract: The EPO has two classified search documentations available, one in the Hague and one in Berlin. The documentation is mainly organized according to the IPC with a large number of additional internal subdivisions. Use is also made of deep indexing systems, hybrid systems and the topological DARC system. On-line searching of external data bases has recently been introduced. The use of on-line search services and the increased use of JP and SU patent documents will increase the need for rapid consultation of documents, and give a new impetus to the use of computers and of modern data carriers.
