The ASBA service and the use thereof in Czechoslovakia

Abstract

The ASBA service was already referred to and briefly described in World Patent Information 2 (3), 116-119 and 3 (3), 100-102. The present article gives a more complete description of this service and the use thereof in Czechoslovakia, stressing the partly centralised, partly decentralised character of the service. Also, some expected future developments of the ASBA service are indicated.
