Documentation from patent offices in other countries received on optical disks as part of international exchange for inclusion in the electronic GPF, including the PatSearch system:
- documentation from PCT minimum countries and international organizations (WIPO, EPO, the United States of America, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, Austria, Australia, the Republic of Korea, the Eurasian Patent Office (EAPO) and Canada);
- other countries: China, Denmark, Belarus, Spain, Kazakhstan, Serbia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Finland and others;
- CISPATENT regional disk (descriptions of inventions from CIS countries).

The structure of FPE consists of current and retrospective sections. The current section provides national patent documentation and patent-associated literature. The retrospective section provides foreign patent documentation.
The national patent documentation of FPE on paper includes descriptions of USSR inventions (from 1924), descriptions of RF inventions and utility models (applications, patents and certificates), and the USSR and RF Official Gazettes to date. Arrays arranged separately are USSR and RF documentation and a collection of descriptions of RF utility models.
The patent collection is an assortment of literature that includes scientific and technical literature in the form of books and periodicals, as well as patent law, standards and methods, and reference literature.
The paper patent documentation of FPE is organized by IPC classification: each section is arranged by country, each country by year of publication and then in numerical order. The documentation is stored in cases on shelves.
As at January 1, 2012, TSPF held 102.2 million copies of patent documents on various carriers, including the foreign patent documentation collection of 95 million items.
In 2011, TSPF acquired over 4.1 million copies of national and foreign patent documents on optical disks.
The TSPF collections on paper are arranged along geographical-systematic-numerical lines.
The storage conditions for collections are determined primarily by the type of information carrier:
- patent documentation on paper is stored in cases on shelves;
- patent documentation on microform is stored in metal boxes in film library files (microfilm) and in metal cupboards (microfiches);
- patent documentation on optical disks is stored in special cupboards;
- in automated databases.

X. Other relevant matters
...
| 1. | 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.
|
| 2. | 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.
|
| 3. | 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.
