Official Gazette of the Patent and Trademark Office--Patents (eOG:P)

AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

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

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

DATES: The 2002 Annual Index to the eOG:P is now available.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States Patent and Trademark 
Office has announced that the 2002 Annual Index to the Electronic 
Official Gazette of the United States Patent and Trademark Office `` 
Patents (eOG:P) is now available. This electronic annual index is 
unique from previous paper annual indexes in that the indexes and 
bibliographic records for the year are now included in this one source. 
The 2002 Annual Index provides all records contained in the weekly 
issues of the eOG:P for 2002, including January through June, which 
were previously not available electronically.
    The eOG:P records contain bibliographic information, including 
classification, inventor and assignee, as well as a representative 
claim and drawing (if applicable). Consistent with the weekly eOG:P 
issues, patents are indexed and browsable by classification and type of 
patent (utility, plant, etc.), as well as by patentee name and 
geographical location of the inventor. Links are provided from all 
indexes to the eOG:P record for that patent.
    The Official Gazette Notices, covering both patents and trademarks, 
are included as is the Consolidated Listing of Official Gazette Notices 
Re--Patent and Trademark Office Practices and Procedures. This 
publication is a compilation of the most important notices and rule 
changes which have been published in the Official Gazette from July 1, 
1964, through December 21, 2002. Appendices include a summary of the 
number of Patents, Defensive Publications, and Statutory Invention 
Registrations issued from 1836 through 2002 and a listing of Patent and 
Trademark Depository Libraries (PTDLs).
    Due to the large amount of data, the 2002 Annual Index to the eOG:P 
is published on one DVD-ROM disc, not on CD-ROM. The price of the index 
is $300.00 and is not included in the annual subscription price of the 
eOG:P.
    The Index of Patents Issued From the United States Patent and 
Trademark Office will continue to be published in a paper format 
through 2002 to coincide with the paper publication of the Official 
Gazette --Patents, which ceased publication as of September 24, 2002. 
This publication will continue to be supplied by the Superintendent of 
Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO). For more information, 
please visit the GPO Web site at: http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/.
