Pre-conference working group on “Chinese patent data coverage”
Leider ist diese Seite derzeit nicht in deutscher Sprache verfügbar.
Chinese patent information (basic bibliographic data, legal status and document translations) is becoming increasingly important for the patent information community worldwide. In recent years, a range of new services and databases has become available, offering Chinese data from both Chinese and western sources. This working group's task is to compile a comprehensive survey of existing sources and new initiatives in the area of Chinese patent data coverage, with a particular view to minimising unhelpful duplication of future efforts in this area.
Chairman: Stephen Adams, Magister Ltd.
Purpose: Collating information on new and existing sources of Chinese patent data
Who should attend?
