US Assignments data to be replaced
Newsflash 03/2009
This is to inform you that due to some corrupt US Assignments records, this data is scheduled to be removed from the PRS legal status database (espacenet/OPS) in week 4/2009.
The erroneous data cannot be corrected manually mainly due to the fact that it would be practically impossible to separate each and every faulty record from the correct entries.
Over 6.4 million records will be deleted. These records will be sent to you in a separate CD Rom in week 04/2009.
We will begin with the reload of the US Assignments data in week 6/2009.
Please ensure that you have deleted all the records that are sent to you before you begin with the uploading of the new US Assignments records in week 06/2009
The uploading of the new records could take several months.
Please note that the current codes US AS01 until US AS99 will cease to exist and will be replaced with a single code US AS.
