...
V1.1The management of the patent applications filed with OSIM is based on the
Common Software System. In 2012 the following patent related databases were managed by this application, i.e. National patents, EP patents, and SPCs (Supplementary Protection Cerificates) introduced in 2008 and Utility Models introduced in 2008 in the Romanian Industrial Property Law system. Our system relies on the SGBD-lnformix Online DSA v.9.4 system; the interface is created by means of Hyperscript Tools. Said database is employed in managing the examination process, the publication and the dissemination of information. The information stored in that database enables the upgrading of other databases (see below), making preparations for other CDs such as ESPACE-PRECES and also the international exchange of data, a.s.o.
V. 1.2. RO Patent Search is a internal database designed for electronic search; it has two
components:
- one comprising the bibliographic data required in the formulation of the
search equations;
- the other one comprising the facsimile documents. Said database contains
more than 125,000 records covering the period 1906-to day, completely. The
database comprising bibliographic data works on an Informix 9.4 platform for Linux.
The facsimile document database comprises more than 120,000 documents stored by
scanning (as already described above). The facsimile document database also comprises the facsimile image of the official bulletins published by OSIM.
V.1.3. A part of the RO Patent Search (the one comprising the bibliographic data of the patents starting with no. 105544 to date and the related facsimile documents are available in the INTERNET) and can be accessed at www.osim.ro. The Ro- ESPACEnet is accessible too. At OSIM headquarters we also have patent collections on CD-ROMs.
V.1.4. Using MIMOSA Authoring software and benefiting of training from EPO Vienna sub office, OSIM developed the Espace- RO CD-ROM. As an important feature of this product it is worth mentioning that, using MIMOSA retrieval software, users may perform full text searches
V. 1.5. The index databases on CD-ROM that can be accessed by internal users in the network are the following ones:
- Access A - IPC Class - Access Europa
- Access B - Bulletin
- Access Preces - Casis - Bib - Global Patent
