Re: New OPS terms of use and Fair use charter from 2018 on
Dear OPS Support, I have a question concerning Fair Use. We have now implemented our tool to download PDF documents from OPS. We currently use OAuth2 authentication, but (for testing purposes) with a non-paying account. The consequence is that, after downloading about 30 documents, you will receive ...

Re: Incorrect HttpResponse Status when no results found [v 3.2]
This is a follow up of my earlier posts concerning OPS 3.2 behaviour with null result queries. OPS Support announced an OPS maintenance release for early September and that additional information about the new release would be provided on this Forum by the end of August. We are now mid-September and...

Re: HTTP Message "404 Not Found"
As an addendum, I noticed that there is another post of February 2017, entitled "Incorrect HttpResponse Status when no results found [v 3.2]". This user has exactly the same problem as I have. He furthermore observed that the return "404 Not found" is specific to OPS 3.2. I re-ch...

HTTP Message "404 Not Found"
In OPS, if a query does not provide any results, the calling application receives the above HTTP message from the OPS server. The calling application (such as when written in Csharp) interprets this message as a WebException , necessitating a catch{} block which disrupts normal program flow. The fac...

Re: Deserializing OPS XML output to Csharp class objects
Here is now what I have found out after literally days of work. In order to obtain a csharp code file from the provided XSD files, proceed as follows: 1) Copy the files ops.xsd, exchange-documents.xsd, fulltext-documents.xsd, CPCSchema.xsd, rplus.xsd and ops_legal.xsd to a local folder. 2) Replace i...

Re: CQL and query for only patents with english docs
I have a similar problem, I would like to get the language of patent publications. However it seems that e.g. exchangedocument[0].@abstract[0].lang contains the language of the first abstract, but exchangedocument[0].bibliographicdata.applicationreference[0].documentid[0].lang exchangedocument[0].bi...

Re: PATXML / WORD COMPATIBILITY
EPO Support says PatXML only works with 32bit Word. If one has 64bit Word it will not work.

Re: PATXML / WORD COMPATIBILITY
I also experience big problems with PatXML. I have Windows 8.1, Word 2010, "Arial Unicode MS" font installed, and Java Runtime Environment Version 8 Update 131 (the one recommended by Oracle for Windows 8.1). In Word security settings the ActiveX setting is "activate all control eleme...

Re: Concatenating PDF pages from OPS
As an addendum, we now have the concatenating software running, using the OAuth2 authorization, There is now one final problem with the format of the publication numbers: E.g. as from the manual, for EP1000000A1:: GET https://ops.epo.org/rest-services/published-data/images/EP/1000000/A1/fullimage X-...

Re: Concatenating PDF pages from OPS
Dear OPS Support, Thanks for confirming that OPS will continue to provide page-by-page PDFs. I now just need an answer to one very specific question: The PDF's from Espacenet are in "Linearized PDF" format. Are the single page PDF's from OPS also in "Linearized PDF" or are they i...
