I have removed the following unsourced information:

The esp@cenet has the following main aims:

• offer basic patent information to individuals, small and medium-sized enterprises, students etc
• increase awareness and use of patent information at the national and European levels
• support innovation, reduce wastage in the innovation cycle
• supplement existing channels for the dissemination of patent information

Please cite your source. Thanks. --Edcolins 21:45, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While doing my best to maintain a no malice view, I have great difficulties in understanding the above logic. Just why wipe the contents rather than take the approcimately 5 seconds on Google to determine the source? So, just google offer basic patent information to individuals, small and medium-sized enterprises, and you get this entry on EPO with the very text. Can this be so hard? And it would be more friendly and more helpful to add a cite tag if you cannot be bothered to Google. --22:37, 17 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.164.182.32 (talk)

Thanks for providing your source. The added material, i.e. the claimed aims of esp@cenet, seems to constitute promotional material. Since the source is not independent from the subject, I don't think it is appropriate to have the information in the wikipedia article. Please see
