Data transmission lag from national offices to EPO

Among other useful files you can find @ EPO website on page

https://www.epo.org/searching-for-patents/helpful-resources/data/tables/weekly.html

there is one named Contents and coverage of the INPADOC legal status file showing out what comes in inpadoc data from other authorities.

The information contained shows, by event type the first and last application number and date, for each application authority connected with EPO.

Another sheet contains a total number of applications and events.

The former dataset allows also to make a raw calculation of the data transmission lag to EPO from national authorities, by taking the difference between file production date and the most recent of application dates by each office /(data from 14/1/17)

 Less than 1/3 have data lag that is one week or less; 2/3 are anyway within 3 months.
the last 33% have lags that are more than 3 months. Belgium is more than 2 years, Sweden 5 and Italy 17 years (!?!?).

I publish the whole table below
