Official Gazette on Industrial Property (BOPI), Spain 1886-1997

This search engine project was developed by Francisco Llorens and Patricio Sáiz during 2014. This is the 2023 full-functional version.

We ran a new advanced OCR system throuhgout the entire BOPI collection from 1886 to 1997, page by page. After getting the text, we automatically indexed all the words in a PostgreSQL database. The result is a quick system to find any word or phrase within the collection in milliseconds. Then you get the recognized text and the original image in a PDF file.

We hope you enjoy it. If you do so, please quote our articles and books.
