NPED: RU-2016*

[IFS]

I am unable to search for PCT documents entered into Russia in 2016 or 2015.  Both the NPED:RU-2016* and NPED:RU-2015* searches return no results.

NPED:RU-2014* returns the expected results.

I am aware of cases that have Russian national phase entry in 2016.  WO2015179792, for example.

You need to add the office code for the national phase entry: NPCC:RU AND NPED:RU-2014*

NPCC:RU AND NPED:RU-2016* still returns 0 results.

there might be no info for 2016, it works if you use 2014

[IFS]

I understand that it works for 2014.  However, I know at least one case (WO2015179792) entered Russian National Phase in 2016, and so it should show up for the NPED:RU-2016* search.

Is this just a problem that the Russian 2015-2016 national stage cases haven't been indexed?

There was an issue in the indexing process and everything should be back to normal in about 2 weeks

Fantastic!  Thank you for the update :)
