Patent Information News

Patent Information News was a trilingual, quarterly magazine published by the Principal Directorate Patent Information of the European Patent Office (EPO), Vienna sub-office, Austria.

History and profile

Patent Information News was launched in the early 1990s.[1] At that time, it was known as EPIDOS news,[2] and the name Patent Information News was apparently adopted in 2006.[3] It was published in English, German and French,[2] the three official languages of the EPO.[4] It often contained articles about the online search service Espacenet, patent documentation and search strategies.[5] In late 2019, Patent Information News ceased publication and Patent Knowledge News took its role.[6]
