• Context

IPCA6TRANS

• IPCA6TRANS Concept

Agenda:

• Demonstration

• Perspectives

• Feed-back from Spanish Patent office


IT toolkit to assist capture of the RIPC translation into non-authentic languages:

IPCA6TRANS context

•Financed by the Spanish Patent Office (OEPM)•Generic design and implementation by WIPO

•Input: RIPC XML master files (EN and/or FR)

•Output:Translation of RIPC XML master files (e.g in ES)

• “as is” toolkit is free of charge for IP offices


What it is:

IPCA6TRANS context

• Toolkit to be adapted to the local IT infrastructure

• Customized solution with customized training

• IPCA6TRANS XML outputs can be inputs for IPCPUBPREP (e.g.internet ES or IPC8-CL CD-ROM)

• Management tool allowing some degree of parallelism in IPC translation

• Translation in publication context


IPCA6TRANS context

• Automatic translation machine

•Automatic production of IPC internet publication (IPCPUBPREP)

What it is NOT:

• An off the shelf product

IPCA6TRANS general concept

Highligts:

•3 types of management for the list of actions

• Sequence of actions to be performed

• Translation in IPC internet publication context

• Translation actions grouping by technical field

• Supporting technology (XML) hidden to users


IPCA6TRANS “as is” toolkit

Technology - Server side: (Win XP, Linux)

•APACHE

•TOMCAT

•PHP

•JAVA

•XML database (eXist)


IPCA6TRANS “as is” toolkit

Technology Client side: :

Translator /reviewer tasks:

•XML compliant browser (e.g. IE6)

•JAVA run time environment (e.g. JRE 1.5)

Coordinator tasks:

•XML compliant Spreadsheet (MS Excel)

• WIPO (WO): Generate list of actions

• Office Coordinator (CO): manages action lists and users

•User(Ux): perform list of actions (translate, revise,…)

IPCA6TRANS Perspectives

•Other language combinations of the Internet publication (e.g. ES+PT, DE+EN,...)

•Implement feature to add catchword entries

•Implement editor for IPC definitions


IPCA6TRANS for IP offices

•Acknowledge OEPM and WIPO copyrights• “as is” toolkit is free of charge

•Customization, installation and training costs: to be financed by offices

•IPCA6TRANS Available under conditions:

•“as is” IPCA6TRANS Software Maintenance: financed by OEPM, done by WIPO

•IPC data updates and translations: by offices
