Special documents to be consulted

 

Certain categories of documents such as documents of the Scandinavian countries may be of special relevance to the European patent system, though they do not form part of the PCT minimum documentation. All these documents should be consulted for European searches, additional European searchesand international-type searches, and also for national searches unless specifically excluded in the agreement with the State concerned.
