Abstract

The rapid technological evolution has caused an increased demand for patent information in the Swiss watch industry, which is catered for by the Swiss Documentation Centre in the Field of Microtechnology. The Centre maintains a library with a computer terminal for on-line searches, and issues several series of publications; weekly and monthly bulletins; translations of relevant Japanese patent documents and file cards with abstracts of patents on horology issued by the most important countries. The latter amounts to about 2600 cards per year with information on approximately 1000 new inventions. To make retrieval of the cards easier a system of index cards is also maintained.
