CAS Expands Global Patent Coverage - The Eurasian Patent Organization Becomes 63rd Authority on CA/CAplus

CAS is enhancing its extensive patent authority coverage in CA/CAplus by adding the Eurasian Patent Organization (EAPO). EAPO (country code EA) is headquartered in Moscow and the 63rd authority covered by CAS.

Eurasian patent documents expand CAS' already substantial coverage of the world's major patent authorities. CAS actively continues to expand coverage, particularly from smaller patent authorities which would otherwise be largely inaccessible to many patent searchers.

Coverage of Eurasian kind code B1 is retroactive to February 27, 2007.
The B1 kind code covers patents. Eurasian B1 patents are eligible to be covered as basics or added to existing patent families. Approximately 1,700 patents are expected per year including approximately 420 basic patents.
