II. Matters concerning the generation, reproduction, and distribution of industrial design documents and of secondary sources of industrial design information, i.e., official gazettes

Information on patents registered in the State Register of industrial (bibliographic data, list of dominant features and pictures) were published in Kyrgyzpatent’s Official Bulletins in 2011.

Bibliographic data on industrial designs, accordingly with the WIPO standards, are stored in Kyrgyzpatent’s database in machine-readable form and paper carriers.

III. Matters concerning classifying, reclassifying and indexing of industrial design information according to the classification systems applied

Kyrgyzpatent uses only the International Patent Classification of Industrial Designs (Locarno Classification).

IV. Search file establishment and upkeep

Information search for patents granting in Kyrgyzstan is realized using materials given by applicants; by fund of registered and issued titles of protection in the Kyrgyz Republic; by databases of patent offices and organizations; other information sources. Search systems and available databases in the Internet are used for searching of information on industrial designs.

V. Activities in the field of computerized search systems for industrial designs

In-house systems (online/offline)

To examine applications the Office uses the own database of the Examination Department (SQL+Delphi); the separate interface is provided for every IP subject-matter. In the future it would be possible to use IPAS and PatentscopeWIPO, modernization of in-house database, usage of more advanced software and search methods.

External databases

Databases of other offices are used for applications examination: EAPATIS of the Eurasian Patent Office, search system on the web site of FIPS, database ESPACENET; the WIPO database on the Hague System, databases of the Japanese and the USA patent offices.

Administrative management systems (e.g., register, legal status, statistics and administrative support)

Registration and accounting of applications are kept in database of the Examination Department; accounting of statistic data is maintained on the base of different reports, the WIPO statistic forms (from the WIPO web site). The normative legal database Toktom, databases of the Ministry of Justice and the National Statistic Committee of the Kyrgyz Republic are used, too.

Equipment used (hardware, including the types of terminal and network used, and software), data carriers used

The Office is equipped by computers (more than 100 items), printers, scanners, local network and the Internet. Several servers in server room administer works of databases, internal network and the Internet.

The standard license software is used made by Microsoft: Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2005, MSOffice. Documents are printed and stored generally on paper carriers. Archiving and storage of electronic databases may be provided too.

Existing online thesauri; their structure, presentation and usefulness for computerized searches

The systems ABBYY Lingvo, Google Translate and reference book of Kyrgyz language “Tamgakit” are used. They help to translate a content and information search on foreign web sites, particularly difficult technical terms, translate patent applications into Kyrgyz and correction of Kyrgyz orthography.

VI. Administration of industrial design information products and services available to the public (relating to facilities, e.g., for lodging applications, registering designs, assisting clients with search procedures, obtaining official publications and registry extracts)

Every year the Library’s fund refreshes and increases. 462259 copies of literature and documentation were received in 2010. The Library’s fund at present time amounts 16934990 copies.

The Library’s work, aiming at information service on IP, has arranged in accordance with plans of the State Service of IP of the Kyrgyz Republic, as well as realization of state programs and priorities. During the year the following actions took place: 80 thematic exhibitions, 20306 references and consultations, 345 patent searches, 9 digests of information by materials of domestic mass media in Russian and Kyrgyz, 957 literature collections by requests of specialists.

37570 readers were users of information resources and services of the Library.

VII. Matters concerning mutual exchange of industrial design documentation and information

International or regional cooperation in the exchange of industrial design information, e.g., in the form of official gazettes

In accordance with bilateral agreements on exchange by patent information 13 CD-ROM compact discs and on paper carriers were sent in 2011: the Official Bulletin “Intellectual Property” 1 Annex to the Official Bulletin “Annual Index”, 10 discs “Reporter of Kyrgyzpatent: issues of IP”.

Kyrgyzpatent receives patent information under bilateral agreements on information exchange.
