Abstract

The article discusses the advantages of various forms of optical disc systems for the storage and dissemination of patent and trademark information. It analyses the storage and transmission requirements and outlines the development of optical disc technologies, covering video disc, compact audio disc, CD-ROM (compact Disc -- Read Only Memory), CD-I (Compact Disc -- Interactive), LV-ROM (Laservision -- Read Only Memory), Digital Optical Discs and Digitalization and Vectorization. The article concludes that recent improvements in data storage and transmission open new opportunities for vendors and users of patent databases. One problem, however, is that patents are seen only as a specialized information source and not as a part of the overall body of scientific and technical information, and international coordination and cooperation are essential if the best use is to be made of optical disc technologies.
