According to a recent WIPO press release, search results in PatentScope, WIPO’s database of PCT international patent applications, can now be retrieved using RSS, aka “Really Simple Syndication”.

PatentScope contains approximately 1.1 million published PCT applications from 1978 to the present and is updated every Thursday when new applications are published.

PatentScope RSS searches will automatically retrieve the latest published applications and feed them into your RSS reader, web page or database. This service will make it much easier to monitor international patent applications without the hassle of conducting repetitive searches every week.
