The Ukrainian translation of the 9th edition of the Locarno Classificati=
on, which was implemented in the environment of the =E2=80=9CIndustrial Des=
igns=E2=80=9D AS in 2009, was used for classifying industrial designs. With=
in the =E2=80=9CIndustrial Designs=E2=80=9D AS, a software system for check=
ing the classification symbols is operative. It includes directories with t=
he schemes of the Locarno Classification and a special software for checkin=
g classification symbols.
To satisfy information needs of the general public, the IRS =E2=80=9CInter=
national Classification for Industrial Designs (the Locarno Classification)=
. Ninth edition=E2=80=9D was placed on the State Department=E2=80=99s web-p=
ortal and the Institute=E2=80=99s web-site.
During the input into the technological database the bibliographical dat= a are processed by the software tools. The database structure allows storag= e of all bibliographical data and provides extended search facilities.
The search file consists of the array of applications placed in the DB of =
the in-house =E2=80=9CIndustrial Designs=E2=80=9D AS and the reference and =
search tools. No documentation of other Offices is included in the industri=

by patent offices of different countries was carried out. The information w=
as transferred from discs and accumulated on the network management server,=
which significantly accelerated the searching speed.
Great attention was paid to the popularization of the collection: subject =
collections of patent documentation and a digest of annotations of publicat=
ions on topical issues of intellectual property rights protection in our co=
untry and abroad were published. Publications of prominent specialists from=
various patent offices =E2=80=93 books and magazine articles received for =
the collection =E2=80=93 were annotated.
With the aim to preserve the collection, modern technologies of protecting=
library holdings from theft, damage etc. are used. Video surveillance, ven=
tilation and air conditioning is continuously carried out, fire safety (fir=
e alarm, fire notification, fire fighting) is ensured.
