mosalicAs the new SFTP will be used for many services (GBD,GDD,PATENTSCOPE and IPAS Support), the following folder arrangement should be used, to facilitate the distribution of data:
|_Designs
|_Full_Extraction
|_Updates
|_Test
|_Trademarks
|_Full_Extraction
|_Updates
|_Test
|_Patents
|_Full_Extraction
|_Updates
|_Test
|_Support
….
For published IP data exchange with WIPO, please use as follow:
| Service | Main folder | Full_Extraction sub-folder | Updates sub-folder | Test sub_folder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GBD | Trademarks | /Trademarks/Full_Extraction | /Trademarks/Updates | /Trademarks/Test |
| GDD | Designs | /Designs/Full_Extraction | /Designs/Updates | /Designs/Test |
| PATENTSCOPE | Patents | /Patents/Full_Extraction | /Patents/Updates | /Patents/Test |
- Full_Extraction sub.folder: for the initial upload of the full published collection
- Updates sub-folder: for the uploads of new files and updates to files already delivered
- Test sub-folder: to use during the initial discussion with the service, for exchange of sample data. Once the format is approved, use the other two folders
Be aware that the folder will also be used for the backup of previously uploaded data.
Just keep uploading the new files, the life-cycle of the data will keep the files in storage for up to two years (unless they are manually deleted).
So please, unless is indicated, do not manually delete any previously uploaded file.
For exchange of information with IPAS Operational Support:
In case of the exchange of "files" with Op-Support (dumps, configuration files, pdf, etc.), please use the /Support folder.
