The data and images are fully downloadable, bibliographic data in XML (2006 to date) and SGML (2000-2005) and images in TIFF format. Using MIMOSA retrieval software or the new browser-based Patent information expert services, the applications can be downloaded or printed.
To reproduce the originally published paper document, the applications are also stored in PDF format, which can be printed using Acrobat Reader.
Nucleotide or amino and sequence listings are stored in separate ASCII textfiles with the extension TXT.
Publication of sequence listing by the EPO: see decision of the President of the European Patent Office dated 2 October 1998 (OJ 11/1998). European patent applications which, on filing, contain a sequence listing or consist of more than four hundred pages may be published in electronic form only, at present for example on esp@cenet and ESPACE EP. On request, the European Patent Office shall also make them available on another suitable medium: view list
All the different data formats of the applications (XML, SGML, TIFF, PDF, TXT files) can be accessed directly. The locations of the files are listed in the open index file 'exchange.idx' stored in the root directory.
Hyperlinks are included on every document which allow access the complete document, its family members, ECLA etc. on esp@cenet and the IPC on the WIPO website.
