Abstract

Starting from the present situation in patent information management, the use of CD-ROM in patent information will be described. Information on feasibility, organization of data and on costs are given. Producing a CD-ROM offline database containing full-text and images of patent documents requires an appropriate subdivision of data files. Model calculations show that CD-ROM databases may be cheaper than common paper collection. A proposal is given for international cooperation using CD-ROM in the patent field.
