Francis Gurry, Deputy Director General WIPO, bericht het volgende: I have pleasure in announcing the launch by the WIPO of a new web portal for all patent and PCT-related services and activities. Existing information on PCT filing, electronic filing and other patent-related resources are available through the new portal. In addition, we have introduced new sections on patent data, statistics and current issues. The patent data section provides access, through a PCT Online File Inspection System, to the complete collection of published PCT International Applications (now more than a million) from 1978 to the present day in image format and to fully searchable text of descriptions and claims for PCT International Applications filed as from July 1998.
