Dear colleagues,
out of a 'Schnapsidee' (crazy idea) of a friend I built a 'citation index'/ranking for EPO appeal decisions:
http://www.ipnewsflash.com/charts.php
The information is based on all decisions of the EPO boards of appeal available from the EPO-website since 30 April 1999. In addition, all older G-decisions have been considered. "overall citations" stands for the overall number of other decisions citing this particular decision. "citations/year" stands fro the number of times that this particular decision was cited per year in other decisions. The time in days since the decision date until today is used for calculation.
Its free to use. Feedback welcome. Have fun!
Regards,
Rolf Claessen
