The purpose of the “Update of the Catalogue of View and Drawing Requirements” Project is to update the current catalogue that was approved during the design session of the TM5 meeting in 2013, in particular taking into consideration the recent adhesion to The Hague Agreement of the USPTO and JPO. Further the catalogue needs to be geographically extended to China, SIPO being one of the ID5 Partners since 2015. Finally, a maintenance methodology needs to be defined.

The desired outcome of this project is to enlarge, complete and update the knowledge of each Partner about the view and drawing requirements of the other Partners.
