A Centralized Service for Reclassification?
Anders Bruun, Swedish Patent & Registration OfficeIPC WorkshopFebruary 4th, 2008
Background
• Only a minority of the world’s countries have their documents reclassified by the Trilateral offices:
AP, AT, AU, CA, CH, DE, EP, FR, GB, JP, OA, US, WO
Background
• The rest of the world’s countries have to reclassify documents if they want to have complete classified collections!
The reclassification procedure
• Access and read XML working list
• Reclassify documents
• Collect classification data
• Generate XML result file
• Submit result file
The reclassification procedure
• For a small or medium-size office the administration of the reclassification takes much more time than the actual reclassification of the documents
• For a small or medium-size office it is difficult to justify development of reclassification software
In order to get something done you must make it easy to do it!
