Abstract: The Patent Documentation Group (PDG) is a non-profit organisation consisting of companies using technical, patent and other intellectual property related information for their business. The PDG, which was founded in 1957 as a working group by 13 European chemical and petrochemical companies, seeks to promote the effective and efficient use of patent information. It has a reputation as an indispensable partner in all discussions relating to the quality and enhancement of patent information. The PDG currently comprises 40 multinational companies from eight different countries engaged in the automotive, chemical, electronics, engineering, household/personal care products, petrochemicals and the life science industries.
