UK Patent Practice Manual

United Kingdom · 업데이트: monthly · uk-patent-practice

The Intellectual Property Office’s Manual of Patent Practice from GOV.UK — 192 sections of interpretive guidance keyed section by section to the Patents Act 1977, read through the keyless content and search APIs. Open Government Licence v3.0, verified by a corpus-wide scan for third-party copyright credits and enforced by a licence gate that runs against the manual’s own front page on every collection run. Every record carries its source URL, fetch timestamp, HTTP status and the SHA-256 of both the raw response and the extracted record. Every release ships a manifest with every file’s SHA-256 and a Merkle root over every chunk hash, which the buyer can recompute from the downloaded files. record_id and chunk_id are stable across releases. Personal data is screened out inside the pipeline before any hash is computed.
