Abstract

The article describes the history of the process of automation in the Japanese Patent Office which will lead eventually to the establishment of a paperless system which is already well under way and will be fully operational from 1993. The system will include: automation of patent and utility model application processing; permitting filing of applications in online or floppy disk form (operational since the end of 1990); automated searching based on an optical disk storage system and search keys including the IPC supplemented by an internal classification, F-term indexing terms and keywords; and an automated publication system which will eventually result in publication of patent documents on CD-ROM. The system will facilitate dissemination of patent information both in Japan and overseas.
