PCT File Histories Now Online

As part of its PatentScope Portal, the World Intellectual Property Organization has made its PCT Online File Inspection System available for testing and comments. The new system includes the complete collection of published PCT International Applications from 1978 to the present, including access to selected documents of the PCT international phase file.

This prototype has been developed with the aim of publication in electronic form only of international applications and of the PCT Gazette, and includes changes which make the data more complete, usable, and searchable. More information on the content of the database is available. WIPO welcomes any comments you may have on this new prototype.
