Since the first publication more than three years havepassed. All the subsystems of the International Patent Information System (IPIS) of CMEA countries entered operational phase. Some structural changes of IPIS were made, in parttcular, the ASBA service was expanded into the Subsystem of Processing and Retrieving Patent Information. The present paper gives a more complete description of the IPIS as a whole and the first results of its implementation.
Oppenheim C. A microcomputer program for the statistical analysis of patent databases. World Patent Information 5 (4), 209-212. A new software has been developed by Derwent Publications Ltd. This software allows both inexperienced and experienced users to carry out statistical analyses of the data contained wtthin the Derwent patents databases. Such analyses can be run using the software tn conjunction with an IBM PC, a Sirius (Victor) microcomputer, or compatible machmes. The software makes the microcomputer act as a terminal for the initial online search; subsequently the software allows the user to select statistical mampulations from a menu. The software IS launched in December, 1983. The paper also describes the background to the use of patent statistics for techno-commercial studtes. and the menus available are listed.

Bryant J. H. and Stein D. P. Automated searching: preliminary results of USPTO World Patent Information 5 (4), 226-229.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office has begun development of a ‘paperless’ automated system to replace its paper search files. In order to answer several questions related to automated operation, the US Office conducted a number of studies involving commercial patent search systems. The results of these studies are summarized in this paper.
system.
A ‘meta-system’ for guiding the change in existing patent information (classification) systems IS described and its evolution over the last 20 years. The meta-system (if necessary with slight and obvious extension) is capable of handling all the kinds of search need that a patent information system is likely to be called upon to serve. It has as its mam aim the handling of information on character, uses and applications of inventions with greater efficiency and precision than previously existing classifications and as a subordinate aim the provision of information on properties and uttlity which has not previously been attempted in a comprehensive manner.

Thomaes K. Special purpose computers for information retrieval. WorldPatent Information 5 (4). 230-232. This article reviews patent publications in the field of database processors for information retrieval. Emphasis is laid on associattve processors, i.e. processors which reference data by content rather than by memory position or location. High speed is obtained h! parallel manipulation of data from many channels of multiple head discs. magnetic bubble or other static memory devices. Very large databases use a combination of such a system and a directory system. i.e. a system comprising in addition to the main file other files containing a dictionary and pointers to the main file.
