Under the umbrella of the Patent Cooperation
Treaty, WIPO's collaboration with the Austrian Government
led to the formation in 1973 of the International Patent
Documentation Centre (INPADOC). Its purpose is to provide
an international patent information service. The industrial
property offices of the world collectively issue nearly one
million patent documents a year. Each document contains
bibliographic data items of the same nature which may be used
to identify, classify and retrieve the document. The general
task of INPADOC is to record - in a computer the appropriate
bibliographic data items of patent documents as soon as they
are published, and then to manipulate the recorded information
to provide information services.

The services are designed to provide a quick and
reliable access to patent documents, which themselves constitute
an important part of the world's increasingly complex body
of scientific and technical literature. The various services
offered by INPADOC help to make maximum productive use of
the technological information contained in patent documents.
Bibliographic data items are recorded by INPADOC in respect
of the patent documents published by the following countries
or organisations: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium,
Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Cuba, Cyprus, Czechoslovakia,
Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, German Democratic Republic,
