Dear users,

Please be advised that the EPO is processing IPC reclassification data for around 195.000 publications.
It means that these publications and their associated family members will be amended and searchable in GPI 2015/19.

At the same time we will be correcting around 1.000.000 IPC classifications for approximately 500.000 publications that will also be amended and searchable in GPI 2015/19.

We kindly remind you that:

1- The "GPI week" starts on Friday 12:00 CET (day/hour of the GPI database update), e.g. week 19 will start on Friday 08/05/2015 at 12:00 CET

2- In the context of a weekly monitoring, amended documents can be searched as follows (example of query valid as of Friday 08/05/2015 12:00 CET):
DLE = 07/05/2015 AND STA = A (A stands for Amended)

3- in a given week you can also retrieve documents which are available for the first time in the database using the following query (example of query valid as of Friday 08/05/2015 12:00 CET):
DLE = 07/05/2015 AND STA = C (A stands for Created)
