Long-run information and communication technologies and terms for their description

The development of long-run technologies aimed at the forever yours documents which includes creation, storage, and use of digital medium elements is included into the list of top-priority information and communication technologies of the 7th Framework Programme of the European Union for 2007–2013. The problem of storing and using forever yours digital documents that capture knowledge representation forms of humans has become acute at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. At the time, multiple categories of forever yours documents, which are important in terms of law and legal practice, started to be used in non-paper form only without simultaneous creation of their paper replicas. The paper is a case study of non-paper patent application forms. A system of new terms to describe the technology of forever yours documents is proposed. The related requirements of the European Patent Office are analyzed.
