Microsoft Word 2003 text processor is used to process texts for publicat=
ion. As Microsoft Word can hardly be used for server automation, EAPO has s=
tarted to change to XML format for processing purposes in 2007.
EAPO widely uses administrative and information system "Common Software", =
=E2=80=9CPublication Server=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9COpen Patent Services=E2=
=80=9D.
First versions of program-modules were created for processing XML-informat=
ion received by using =E2=80=9COpen Patent Services=E2=80=9D. The peculiar =
feature of the EAPO approach is integration of the mentioned modules with a=
dministrative and information system "Common Software".
EAPO issues its official publications using own data processing and publ=
ishing facilities. The unified publication technology involves scanning, op=
tical character recognition, editing, proofreading and make-up. All data us=
ed for publications (including bibliographic data in Russian and English, p=
ages in facsimile mode, full-text descriptions, first pages, blueprints etc=
.) is stored in one database (IPDL HIVE2 system, outsourced for EAPO). Info=
rmation is extracted from the database by client software in necessary form=
ats, including PDF and XML. The client software also provides broad automat=
ion of everyday operations at every workplace of the publication divisions.=
More than 23000 Eurasian patent documents were stored in IPDL HIVE2 system=
's database by the end of 2007.
The most significant change in EAPO data representation in 2007 is related=
to the development of two new formats: ST.36 XML and PDFs with embedded bo=
okmarks.

Eurasian patent applications are filed at the EAPO in Russian only. When= patent application is filed, an applicant or a representative provides abs= tract in required format in accordance with filing procedure. This abstract= is published with bibliographic data of the application in the Gazette, at= first pages of application and corresponding patent and on optical discs w= ith full descriptions of inventions. Abstracts are published in Russian and= English.
For classifying published Eurasian applications and Eurasian patents EAP=
O uses the advanced level of the IPC (8th edition). Information about publi=
shed Eurasian patent documents including classifying indexes is sent to EPO=
to be included into the database of classified patent documents (MCD).
As changes into the advanced level of IPC are introduced EAPO within the f=
ramework of MCD support carries out reclassification of Eurasian patent doc=
uments in accordance with the list of documents which EAPO receives from WI=
PO.
Created and successfully incorporated into the administrative and informat=
ion system "Common Software" program-modules to work with reformed IPC were=
put into operation in December 2005. Starting from January 1, 2006 all pub=
lished documents were classified in accordance with the new IPC version.
The developed software provided for the coordinative work of examiners of =
Examination Departments, Formal Examination Department, Search and Informat=
ion Systems Department and Procedure Automation Department. The Program res=
ources provided monitoring of published documents classification.
EAPO does not use domestic keep indexing systems or keyword indexing
EAPO uses indexing schemes within the framework of advanced level of IPC= (8th edition).
Bibliographic data for applications and patents and full texts of patent=
s are stored in database storage of IPDL HIVE2 system. The system allows ex=
tracting data in required format for further loading to other external sear=
ch systems. For example, this extracted data is used in EAPATIS and in Esp@=
cenet.
The EAPO has been developing an XML format for publication data representa=
tion to simplify subsequent data analysis and indexing.
Since 2003 EAPO started to form a virtual patent-information depository =
comprising of local and external databases (DB) of patent documentation and=
non-patent literature integrated between each other. Access to the BDs and=
search in them is realized on the basis of a "one-window principle" via th=
e EAPATIS system.
Local DBs are formed by information unloading from CD/DVD discs containing=
patent documentation, data conversion and arranging it in a unique format,=
data indexing and loading of information into the DB.
A new database of US applications has been formed. Over 2 million of pat= ent documents were loaded in 2007. The total number of loaded into local DB= descriptions of documents has increased up to 30.5 million. The local DBs = contain retrospective and current patent documentation of international org= anizations and national patent offices of countries of PCT- minimum documen= tation, EAPO Member-States, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. EAPO has been working a= t improvement of quality of information provided, broadening of searching a= nd service possibilities of DBs, integration of information resources of lo= cal and external Internet DBs of patent and non-patent documentation, unifi= ed access to DBs via one searching interface.
By the end of 2007 the EAPO patent-information depository contained 44 l= ocal DBs, incorporated into 25 clusters. Each cluster contains DB of one co= untry (patent organization) or disc series. The total volume of loaded and = kept in the DB information is over 2.5 TB. The peculiar feature of the Eura= sian patent-information space is availability of a unified access to all DB= s via a unique searching interface of EAPATIS System.
Much attention was paid to formation and loading of local DBs of nationa= l patent documentation of EAPO Member-States and their improvement. The ava= ilable information is loaded into these DBs and the access is open via the = EAPATIS system. Much was done for broadening access to external DB of paten= t and non-patent documentation in the Internet based on virtual access and = means of metasearch.
EAPO uses the following systems: COMMON SOFTWARE, bookkeeping and wareho= use programs, system of electronic exchange of documents by the company =E2= =80=9CDIGT=E2=80=9D, IPDL HIVE2 system (The system supports publication pro= cess and own patent collection processing in EAPO. It offers reliable stora= ge of all documents used for publication, automation of the most of publica= tion procedures, structured access to the stored patent information via cli= ent software or Web interface, multiplex search in bibliographic data and f= ull texts considering languages morphology (Russian and English) and provid= es statistics on documents stored and on publication process); and Eurasian= Patent System (EAPATIS) being the main information and search system used = by EAPO examiners, examiners of national patent offices of the EAPO Member-= States, as well as Uzbekistan and Ukraine for patent searches. Access to EA= PATIS is open via the Internet: http://www.eapatis.com
EAPO examiners and examiners from patent offices of EAPO Member-States h= ave a full-scale access to a huge number of patent documents including thos= e extracted from external DBs of patent documentation, and in metasearch mo= de and virtual access. EAPATIS resources provided a unified access to the f= ollowing DBs: esp@cenet DB, USPTO DB (applications), USPTO DB (patents), EP= OLINE DB, JOPAL DB, Patent documentation DB of the Republic of Moldova (pat= ents) and Patent documentation DB of the Republic of Kazakhstan, DBs of non= -patent literature (Science Direct, High Wire Press, Springer Link, Wiley-V= CH, PubMed, etc.)
From 2007 EAPO started to use "Toolbox-EPTOS" system. At present the sys=
tem is in technical operation. It has been successfully integrated into PAT=
NET.
Information on patent documents is available through the automated system =
COMMON SOFTWARE which supports administration of patent procedures. The sys=
tem also provides statistical information, fee payment, correspondence and =
workflow management.
CRYSTALL SERVER is used in EAPO to prepare statistic forms for operative m=
anagement of examination procedure, EAPO Gazette preparation and informatio=
n exchange with patent offices and international organizations.
EAPO keeps a Register of Eurasian patents accessible to the wide public in=
electronic form.

ied copies of Eurasian applications.
Applications may be filed on paper and electronically.
In 2007 EAPO conducted training on EAPATIS and other information and sea= rch systems for examiners of the Office. Profound and individual training w= as organized for newly employed examiners. Special training courses were or= ganized for 18 examiners from national patent offices of EAPO Member-States= for on-the-job training at EAPO. Consultative and methodical assistance ha= s been rendered to examiners while conducting patent searches.
EAPO pays much attention to cooperation with patent offices of EAPO Memb= er-States. In 2007 EAPO funded refresher courses at the Russian State Insti= tute of Intellectual Property for seven specialists from EAPO Member-States= .
During the year under report the following activities took place where E=
APO representatives participated as speakers:
- Seminar on TRIPS and Seminar for Patent Attorneys in Minsk (Republic of =
Belarus);
- National Seminar to promote the use of the Patent Cooperation Treaty in =
Novosibirsk and Yekaterinburg (Russian Federation);
- National Seminar on Management of Intellectual Property: Innovation, Pro=
motion and Technology Transfer) in Chisinau (Moldova).
Each year EAPO organizes seminars at EAPC Contracting States. With EAPO su=
pport in 2007 a Regional Seminar on the Role of Intellectual Property Offic=
es: Current Activities and Challenges was held in Baku (Republic of Azerbai=
jan).
In March 2007 EAPO took part in the 10th Moscow International Salon of Ind=
ustrial Property "Archimedes" where EAPO organized the "EAPO Day". The boot=
h of the EAPO provided information about the Eurasian patent system, about =
EAPO activity and its information products.
A meeting with Eurasian patent attorneys, which is traditionally dedicated=
to the World Intellectual Property Day, took place on April 26, 2007 at EA=
PO.
Leading specialists of the Eurasian Patent Office informed the participant=
s of the meeting about aspects of EAPO activity, which can be useful for th=
eir professional activity and development of cooperation with the Office. <=

1. | Classification is= allotting one or more classification symbols (e.g., IPC symbols) to a pate= nt application, either before or during search and examination, which symbo= ls are then published with the patent application. |
2. | Preclassification= is allotting an initial broad classification symbol (e.g., IPC class or su= bclass, or administrative unit) to a patent application, using human or aut= omated means for internal administrative purposes (e.g., routing an applica= tion to the appropriate examiner). Usually preclassification is appli= ed by the administration of an office. |
3. | Reclassification =
is the reconsideration and usually the replacement of one or more previousl=
y allotted classification symbols to a patent document, following a revisio=
n and the entry into force of a new version of the Classification system (e=
.g., the IPC). The new symbols are available on patent databases. <= /p> |
