Implementation of WIPO Standards and IT Cooperation with WIPO
One of the main issues in adopting WIPO standards addressed in the Eurasian Patent Office in recent years was the creation of XML schemes schemas for the publication of Eurasian Patent Office patent documents for international exchange in accordance with WIPO Standard ST.96 Recommendations for the Processing of Intellectual Property Information Using XML.
The extraction of data in accordance with the schemes schemas developed was implemented in 2025 and is carried out on the basis of the system for the preparation of official publications within the EAPO IIS.
The published EAPO announcements in the area of inventions have previously been mapped to the list of events of WIPO Standard ST.27, and the final legal status event codes have been formed; their introduction in the publication services is considered as part of the further development of the EAPO IIS.

Classification and reclassification activities
EAPO patent documentation is included into the PCT Minimum Documentation and patent documents are classified and reclassified in the International Patent Classification (IPC) on the publication stage. Since 2019 Eurasian patent documents are additionally classified in accordance with the Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC).
Abstracting, reviewing, and translation of the information contained in patent documents
...
The EAPO uses an independently developed virtual patent-information depository comprising of local and external databases of patent documentation and non-patent literature integrated with each other. Access to databases and search therein is realized on the basis of a “one stop shop” policy via EAPATIS. Currently EAPATIS contains over 30 constantly updating databases. Since 2003 the access to the system via the Internet is granted for the EAPO Member States. In 2004-2005 access was provided also to several IP offices of non-member states from the Eurasian region. Local databases are formed by extracting information from bulk data sets received by the EAPO as well as by downloading data from the respective Internet resources of international organizations and national patent offices with subsequent data conversion and arranging it in a unified format, indexing and loading into the database.
The EAPO continued its work on development and creation of a single Eurasian patent information space expanding and updating of the EAPO Eurasian Office’s storage with patent documents belonging to the PCT Minimum Documentation, as well as documents issued by the EAPO and national patent offices of EAPC Contracting States. Expansion of the databases was implemented through processing of information from the CISPATENT collections, and data collections of national patent offices under the exchange program. In addition, in accordance with the new PCT Minimum Documentation procedures, a complete database of PCT applications in fulltext-text searchable form was received from the WIPO International Bureau in 2025 and access to its regular updates was arranged; this array will improve the quality of search in EAPATIS for international applications, including AI-based full-text search.
During the reporting period EAPATIS processed over 1.1 million search queries, including 300,926 queries from the EAPO examiners and 826,411 queries submitted via the Internet by external users.
The provision of EAPO examiners with reference patent and non-patent documentation mentioned in the international search report International Search Report for Eurasian applications was carried out using the automated search report processing (SRP) system. In 2025, 7,916 cited documents were provided to examiners for 1,571 Eurasian applications.
Information products and patent document collections available to external users

Preparation of official publications (EAPO IIS module)
In 2025, a new EAPO IIS module for the automation of the patent procedure - covering the processing of patent documentation and the preparation of official publications - was put into operation, replacing the system previously used for publication processing purposes. The module covers the entire cycle of processing application and patent documents for inventions and industrial designs: recognition of patent-document text, proofreading, translation of individual components into English, comprehensive verification of published data, formation of electronic publications, and data export for joint information projects and information exchange; it also covers the processing and publication of announcements. In total, 6,503 descriptions for Eurasian applications and patents were prepared for publication in 2025. Within the module, a technology for converting Eurasian application documents into a character-coded (fulltext-text searchable) format was implemented, with the digitization results reflected daily in the EAPO Authority File of Published Patent Documents (according to WIPO Standard ST.37). Since August 2025, the EAPO Gazette and the databases of electronic publications and services have been produced using the new EAPO IIS module.
EAPATIS
EAPATIS was developed as one of the core tools for Eurasian Patent Office examiners and users from EAPC Contracting States to access the global collection of patent documents. The audience also includes national IP offices examiners, users from leading universities, libraries, centers of science and technology who benefit from free access to EAPATIS as part of the Eurasian Patent Office initiative since 2011 to promote innovation in the EAPC Contracting States.

Hardware used to supporting business processes
Servers similar to HP, Dell, ORACLE, Cisco, Lenovo from 100 to 200 pcs. In 2025, the IT departments units used 201 virtual servers for the development and maintenance of the Office’s digital services, with 114 terabytes of data stored on the EAPO servers.
Internal databases
The patent information depository of EAPATIS contains information from international and regional organizations, collections included in the PCT Minimum Documentation (USA, Japan, Germany, UK, etc.) of different back file coverage, from national patent offices of the CIS countries, including EAPC Contracting States.

...
Translation of patent information
EAPO uses WIPO Translate tool (machine to machine integration with EAPATIS) for machine translation of foreign patent information. The EAPO also uses the PROMT neural machine translation system, in particular for the translation of patent documentation from and into the national languages of the EAPC Contracting States.
Cooperation with universities, research centers, technology and innovation support centers, etc.

Participation in international or regional activities and projects related to patent information
As a PCT International Authority, in 2025 the EAPO prepared the tools for the digitization of Eurasian applications and for providing access to Eurasian patent documentation to all other PCT International Authorities: a dedicated SFTP server holding the complete retrospective back file collection of Eurasian patent documents was deployed. The exchange of data starts on 1 January 2026.
In the framework of implementation of the Agreements on granting of access to EAPATIS to scientific organizations, public libraries and higher educational institutions, they were provided with free access to EAPATIS starting from 2019. As of the end of 2025, more than 200 organizations were connected to EAPATIS under this project.

VIII. OTHER RELATED MATTERS
Notes:
- Classification is allotting one or more classification symbols (e.g., IPC symbols) to a patent application, either before or during search and examination, which symbols are then published with the patent application.
- Preclassification is allotting an initial broad classification symbol (e.g., IPC class or subclass, or administrative unit) to a patent application, using human or automated means for internal administrative purposes (e.g., routing an application to the appropriate examiner). Usually preclassification is applied by the administration of an office.
- Reclassification is the reconsideration and usually the replacement of one or more previously allotted classification symbols to a patent document, following a revision and the entry into force of a new version of the Classification system (e.g., the IPC). The new symbols are available on patent databases.
