In conclusion

The EPO's East Asia Helpdesk team has set up this information exchange as a virtual meeting place between East and West. We want everyone to feel welcome and valued in the worldwide community of patent information users. And most of all, we want everyone to have a good time while searching for information on patents in Asia.

If you have questions or comments or suggestions for improvement, we would be happy to hear from you. Please feel free to drop us a line at asiainfo@epo.org.
