Publication of the annex to the European search report

- OJ 1999, 90 -

At the beginning of the year the EPO introduced a new service to the public: search reports published in respect of European patent applications (A1 and A3 documents) now contain an annex listing members relating to the patent documents cited in the search report, together with their publication dates.

The information contained in this annex is extracted from the European Patent Office's files on the day the annex is issued.
