Notice of Publication of a 2002 Annual Index to the Electronic 
Official Gazette of the Patent and Trademark Office--Patents (eOG:P)

AGENCY: Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the United States Patent and 
Trademark Office (USPTO) will publish a 2002 Annual Index to the 
electronic version of the Official Gazette of the United States Patent 
and Trademark Office--Patents (eOG:P). This annual index will be 
published on DVD-ROM.

DATES: The eOG:P began publication on July 2, 2002. Publication of the 
eOG:P Annual Index for 2002 will occur in early 2003.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USPTO has announced that a 2002 Annual 
Index to the Electronic Official Gazette of the United States Patent 
and Trademark Office--Patents (eOG:P) will be published on DVD-ROM in 
early 2003. Although the eOG:P began publication in July 2002, the 
eOG:P team is gathering and converting the data from January through 
June in order to provide a complete annual index.
    This annual index will be cumulative of the information contained 
in the weekly issues of the eOG:P for 2002. Indexes and bibliographic 
records for the year will be included in this one source. Bibliographic 
records contain a representative claim and drawing (if applicable) as 
well as classification, inventor and assignee information. Consistent 
with the weekly eOG:P issues, patents can be browsed by type of patent 
(utility, plant, etc.), classification (class or class/subclass), 
patentee name, and geographical location. The Official Gazette Notices, 
covering both patents and trademarks, will also be included.
    Due to the large amount of data, the eOG:P Annual Index will be 
published on one or two DVD-ROM discs, not on CD-ROM. The price of the 
eOG:P Annual Index will be $300.00; it is not included in the annual 
subscription price of the eOG:P. Subscribers will receive notification 
when the annual index is available.
    The Index of Patents Issued From the U.S. Patent and Trademark 
Office will be published in paper format through 2002 to coincide with 
the paper publication of the Official Gazette--Patents, the last paper 
issue of which is September 24, 2002. This publication will continue to 
be supplied by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government 
Printing Office. For more information, please visit the GPO Web site 
at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/.
