Main types of announcements of the Office in the field of industrial design information
...
The search file on a paper and optical disks is formed on the basis of a collection of State Fund of the patent documentation and includes materials on the industrial designs contained in the foreign official bulletins 22 countries and the incorporated cumulative editions on industrial designs, prepared INIC Rospatent; is placed by a geographical principle. The retrospective part is submitted photograph library of industrial designs.
Under the national patent documents the bibliographic databases and electronic file (textual) storehouses for internal use are conducted.
Updating
The search files on a paper and part on CD/DVD-ROM are updated monthly, some CD/DVD-ROM are updated annually.
The bibliographic data and files of the documents in electronic storehouse under the national documents can replenish and - or be corrected in process of the reference.
Storage, including mass storage media
The conditions of a storage of fund depend mostly on kinds of carriers of the information: the patent documents on a paper are stored in wall cases, photograph library on microfilms - in boxes, on CD-ROM and DVD-ROM - in stores in wall cases.
The bases bibliographic, record keeping data and file storehouse are copied by standard methods (SUBD, OC) on specialized a file - servers.
The documentation from other departments is supported and - or is considered as a part of a patent file of search.
In 2004 the State Fund of the patent documentation has replenished with the patent-information editions 22 countries of the world.
V. Activities in the field of computerized search systems for industrial designs
...
Is developed and the base of the bibliographic data on industrial designs being a part of general search system of internal usage is used.
Through the program of service of a database are carried out:
· input, change and updating of the bibliographic data;
· formation of the documents (documents on correspondence with the applicant: inquiries, notice, decision; register sheets, security letters, text for the official bulletin);
· search in a database on formulated by the user to inquiries.
The base contains the bibliographic information. The complete texts and images of industrial designs in this database do not contain and are placed separately in file storehouse, but are accessible to editing and viewing.
Administrative management systems (e.g., register, legal status, statistics, administrative support, etc.)
Is entered into action and the automated system of general and patent office-work ensuring creation and conducting of archive of the electronic documents, exchange of the documents and messages, direction of the tasks on execution and control of execution of the assignments, routing of passage of the applications etc. is maintained
