  1. Revision of WIPO Standard ST.14 Committee on WIPO Standards, third session Geneva 15 – 19 April 2013 Anna Graschenkova Standards Section

  2. Document CWS/3/4 Revision of WIPO Standard ST.14 • Background • Revision of category codes • Implementation of the revised WIPO Standard ST.14 • Recommendations for NPL

  3. Background(paragraphs 1 – 3 of document CWS/3/4) • Task No.45 “Revision of WIPO Standard ST.14” (created at CWS/2) • Components of the Task No. 45: • (i) Prepare a proposal for the revision of category codes provided in paragraph 14 of WIPO Standard ST.14 taking into account comments and draft proposals stated in paragraphs 7 and 10 to 14 of document CWS/2/6. • (ii) Study the convenience of revising the recommendations for the identification of non-patent literature citations in order to bring WIPO Standard ST.14 in line with the International Standard ISO 690:2010 (Information and documentation – Guidelines for bibliographic references and citations to information resources). If the revision is considered convenient, prepare the corresponding proposal. • The International Bureau is designated as the Task Force Leader

  4. Revision of category codes • Categories “I”, “N” and “X” • Category “P” • Categories “E” and “O”

  5. Categories “I”, “N” and “X”(paragraphs 5 – 9 of document CWS/3/4) • Categories “I” and “N” are to be included • “N” – lack of novelty • “I” – lack of inventive step • Definition of category “X” is to be revised • two approaches (see document CWS/3/4, par. 7 – 9) • Category “X” is excluded from future use • replaced by “I” and “N” • clean transition; paragraph 7(a) • Category “X” is left as an alternative to “N” and “I” • pragmatic approach; paragraph 7(b)

  6. Category “P”(paragraph 10 of document CWS/3/4) • The definition was revised to cover documents published prior to the (international) filing date but on or after the priority date Category “P”: Document published prior to the filing date (in the case of the PCT, the international filing date) but on or after the priority date claimed in the application. Code “P” should always be accompanied by one of the categories ”N”, “I”, “X”, “Y” or “A”

  7. Categories “E” and “O”(paragraphs 11 – 13 of document CWS/3/4) • Definitions are to be revised with respect to the combination with other citation categories • Two options are proposed for consideration: • Paragraph 11 (a)Category … should always be accompanied by one of the categories “N”, “I”, “X”, “Y” or “A”. • Paragraph 11 (b)Category … may (or should preferably) be accompanied by one of the categories “N”, “I”, “X”, “Y” or “A”.

  8. Documents sharing the same dateas the application being searched(paragraph 14 of document CWS/3/4) Options under discussion: • Extension of category “E” • not supported by the TF as being potentially confusing • Creation of the new category “R” • no definition proposed • Using the category “L” • no revision required; the current definition is broad enough

  9. Implementation of the revisedWIPO Standard ST.14(paragraphs 15 and 16 of document CWS/3/4) • It is proposed to include the following editorial note: Editorial Note by the International Bureau The Committee on WIPO Standards (CWS) adopted the revision of paragraph 14 of Standard ST.14 at its <number> session on <date>. Industrial property offices are asked to implement the recommendations provided in paragraph 14 of Standard ST.14, as revised, for all search reports established from <date>, onwards. For search reports established prior to that date, the previous version of the said paragraph 14 (see Annex) should continue to be used. • The current version of paragraph 14 will be kept as the Annex to the Standard • The implementation period is not yet defined

  10. Recommendations for non-patent literature:alignment with ISO 690:2010(paragraphs 17 – 20 of document CWS/3/4) • The revision of recommendations concerning NPL is supported by the TF members • More detailed consideration is necessary to determine • what particular recommendations of the International Standard ISO 690:2010 should be transferred to the WIPO Standard ST.14 and • what should be the level of granularity of the recommendations transferred. • The alignment should be limited to NPL only

  11. Recommendations for non-patent literature:documents in other languages(paragraphs 21 and 22 of document CWS/3/4) • Proposal to review ST.14 recommendations to address the question how to cite documents in languages other than the language of the document (search report) in which they are cited • Guidance on: • translations or transliterations of details • cases when there is an official translation • how it should be indicated that it is a translation/transliteration • etc.
