Abstract

The Australian Patent Office (APO) has scanned, and stored on optical disc, microfilm images of over 5 million abstracts of patent documents essentially covering PCT minimum documentation since 1975. The abstracts were produced by Derwent Publications Ltd. Examiners search the abstracts by accessing one of the commercial on-line databases containing the Derwent patent database and downloading a search list. Abstracts of documents on the search list can be printed or viewed on a high resolution image screen to identify relevant documents. The full texts of relevant documents are printed from conventional media for detailed consideration by the examiner. Salient characteristics of the project and of the Patent Abstract Image System (PAIS) are presented.
