EPO - Discussion forums

Hi,

we just signed to access your INPDOC data. As such we got a mail that directed us to a download section where we can manually download the backfile and incremental updates.

Now we wonder where the FTP service is and how we may access it.

I have not found anything about this in the documentation:
http://www.epo.org/searching-for-patent ... nuals.html

I could scrape the download file automatically for certain patterns that match the expected download file, but this is not the way we are used to use EDI

Dear Chris,

Subscribers can automate the data retrieval using REST.
Please send us a short mail (patentdata@epo.org) and we will send you the instructions.

Kind regards
OPS support
