PDF/Images of some Patents missing in OPS/Espacenet

Hi,

I've noticed that some patents in pdf and image form are missing from OPS/Espacenet for ex. if one searches for EP0100022B1 in Espacenet or OPS one cannot retrieve pdf/images; EP0100022A1 appears to be present in OPS but not Espacenet. On the other hand Google patents has them in pdf form.

Is there any reason why?

Thanks

Hi,

EP A1 is present in Espacenet and in OPS which makes sense because OPS if feeding Espacenet: ..../published-data/publication/docdb/EP0100022.A1/images
https://worldwide.espacenet.com/publica ... 22A1&KC=A1

EP B1 is really not there and we already informed the team in charge to load the PDF asap.

Thank you for your feedback on this,

Regards,
OPS support
