JP Appeal data added to INPADOCDB and INPAFAMDB

Appeal event codes make aware of proceedings before boards of appeal. Now, the coverage of JP appeal data has been significantly enhanced in the INPADOC files with the addition of 49 legal status event codes.  Backfile data for appeal events is available from 2009 onwards with significant data since 2017. Most of new legal status event codes are categorized as ORE (Opposition, Reexamination, Appeal), EXA (Examination, Search Report) or MIS (Miscellaneous or Ambiguous), searchable  in field /LSC2.

For a list of examples and all event codes concerning JP appeals including the detailed text searchable in /LSTX and the categories (LSC2), see https://www.stn-international.com/sites/default/files/X/INPADOC%20News%20JP%20Appeal%20Data.pdf
