Digital Library As more and more documentation is produced electronically, their availability on the internet is time limited as they are replaced with newer versions. GIS recognizes the importance of capturing and maintaining copies of these documents, since once these documents are removed from a website, they tend to be lost forever. Starting from where our printed collection ends, GIS has amassed over 37GB of electronic files, giving us a history of semiconductor and electronic systems up to the present day.
Many of our clients have been able to use our Digital Library to locate Prior Art or to investigate possible Patent Infringement.
