The EPO’s Asian Patent Information Summer Challenge
Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2018 10:14 am
Dear patent information users,
Are you sweating in your office while everyone else is on vacation? Are you looking for a real challenge, fighting with language barriers, exotic databases and tricky legal events?
The EPO’s Asian Patent Information Services invite you to be part of our “Asian Patent Information Summer Challenge”.
We created a search task for you involving documents from three Asian countries (China, Japan and Korea) and invite you to share both your results and search approaches in this forum.
Here is the task:
In Espacenet, you came across the publication EP2830949 B1 https://worldwide.espacenet.com/publica ... 9A1&KC=A1#.
As you can see, there are Japanese, Chinese and Korean family members.
Try to find out the current status of these Asian family members.
Are the Japanese, Chinese and Korean applications still in force?
Important notes

The summer challenge will run until the meteorological end of summer, i.e. 31 August.
