Provision of access to technological knowledge, in the form of specialized patent databases and technical journals, for users in developing countries and LDCs in particular patent offices, to carry out more effective patent searches. The ARDi project, launched in July 2009, is part of this project on assisting countries in establishing Technology and Innovation Support Centers (TISCs) together with a corresponding network. The Access to Research for Development and Innovation (ARDI) program substantially increased content to over 10,000 journals and books, while the number of institutional users is also growing rapidly. The number of institutional users of the Access to Specialized Patent Information (ASPI) program continues to increase. 35 Service Agreements (SLAs) and national networks of Technology and Innovation Support Centers (TISCs) have been established. The “eTISC” knowledge management platform () launched and the TISC website substantially renewed. Evaluation Report presented to the ninth session of the Committee (CDIP/9/5) and available at: Regarding the project document, actions for Phase II: (i) Ensure that monitoring and self-evaluation templates are useful for management and purposes.
