It all started in 1972 when the World Intellectual
Property Organization (WIPO) selected the Austrian
Patent Office's bid to become an international patent
documentation center. In his role as Technical
Director of the newly founded INPADOC, Wolfgang
Pilch oversaw the creation of the bibliographic patent
database, which was updated by regular deliveries
from patent offices and institutions from all
continents. Through his efforts, Mr. Pilch was
responsible for developing the INPADOC patent
family service, as well as special programs such as a
tool to query the Kanji-based PATOLIS database and
to derive the answers in plain English. In 1991,
INPADOC was incorporated in the European Patent
Office, which based its EPIDOS product line on the
services of the former INPADOC. Mr. Pilch became
Director in the Vienna sub-office of the European
Patent Office. Five years later he went back to the
Austrian Patent office where he is today involved in
special projects.
The presentation of the IPI Award to Mr. Pilch will
take place later this year at a ceremony to be held in
Europe.
The International Patent Information Award is
sponsored by Technology & Patent Research (TPR)
International Inc., and is directed by a Board of
eminent patent information industry professionals
representing Europe, the United States and Japan.
The IPI Award consists of a plaque and an
honorarium of $2500.
