An agreement has recently been reached between Chemical A b stracts S e r v i c e and the Internation al Patent D o c u m e n t a t i o n Center (INPADOC), in Austria, for acquiring and compiling information on patents. Currently, I N P A D O C receives and standardizes information from 46 na tional p a t e n t offices and two interna tional organizations and compiles t h e m on a computer d a t a base. Under the new agreement, CAS will receive weekly computer-readable updates from the INPADOC files. These updates will be used, in conjunction with an INPADOC backfile acquired earlier, to identify patents for ab stracting in Chemical Abstracts and t o compile the CA Patent Concor dance. Under the terms of the agree m e n t the Concordance will no longer be issued in computer-readable form, b u t it will continue to be available as p a r t of the weekly, semiannual, and five-year collective indexes to Chemi cal Abstracts.
