Popis: The author starts by reviewing the Japanese Patent Office's information dissemination policy under their Paperless Projects and then discusses the implications which arise from publishing their patent documents on CD-ROM. Details are given showing the savings that have accrued as a result of using CD-ROM. The CD-ROMs are made available to the public in the libraries of the JPO and are also sold to industrial organisations and to database producers. The charge made for the discs depends on the utilisation of the data. The numbers of the various types of user are given. The author discusses briefly the advantages and disadvantages of using CD-ROM and outlines the planned distribution schemes to be developed within the JPO libraries.
