Coverage of the Worldwide Publications
|
Description: |
In the table below, the coverage of documents for worldwide patents is displayed.
The column "Bibliographic Data" indicates the starting date from which patent data is almost completely available. The last column indicates the coverage of facsimile images in the database.
|
Note: |
The entry "unique" in the last column means that for this country only those documents are covered for which no patent family member is available in the PCT minimum documentation.
|
Update frequency: |
The database is updated on a weekly basis.
|
More information: |
Information on the most recent documents in the collection will soon be available on this page.
