We want to announce an upcoming reload of EP records that will consist onof:
- A change in the rules that we are using to estimate the status of an EP patent in each of the designated states (DS). After analyzing all the options and feedback from customers, we decided to make this simpler and more simple and usable. The new rules are described with more detail in this page.
- As a result of this reload and the previous reload of bad formatted claims, we will add the Claims Summary information to EP records.
- We plan to start reloading EP granted patents on May 22, 2017. This will take a few weeks.
