Abstract

The article describes the basic features of the host service EPOQUE developed by the EPO in association with an international consortium. The system is a user-friendly device enabling search examiners to interrogate the EPO's own internal databases, the INPADOC patent family and legal status databases, Derwent WPI and WPIL databases and the U.S. and Japanese Patent Office databases. Apart from the EPO staff, national Offices of member states will also have access to EPOQUE and will be allowed to make it available through their libraries to their public.
