| Bulgaria and Monaco are the latest countries to have national phase status information for EP patents available on the European Patent Register through Register Plus, at https://register.epo.org/ regviewer, with deep links to the Bulgarian status site. The Global Dossier service linking to file wrapper material in non-EPO countries has extended coverage for Canada (now all applications published since 1st August 1995), Japan (all applications filed since 1st July 2003), South Korea (all applications filed since 1st January 1999), and WIPO (all published applications). Global Dossier records for specific applications are now available as RSS feeds for EPO and Chinese applications, with more countries planned. The international patent database The Lens, at https://www. lens.org, now offers a text search for the classification schedules of the IPC, CPC, and US classification. From the result list of classifi- cations, it is possible to either see the schedule within the classifi- cation tree, or add it to a search with a single click. |
