4.3	Systematically arranged patent documents

This relatively small collection is primarily intended for use by the public. It comprises the following:

(i)	patent documents issued by the Netherlands from 1912;

(ii)	patent applications of the Federal Republic of Germany as published after examination from 1957;

(iii)

patent applications published by the EPO from 1978;

(iv)	PCT patent applications published from 1985.

These documents are arranged according to the national Netherlands and German patent classifications up to 1973 and 1975, respectively, and from these years on according to the International Patent Classification (in the case of the German and European applications, as printed or stamped on the documents).
