Advanced Search (found on the top right corner of every webpage)
• This AUC website search engine enables you to search for documents by the Document Type, Application Number, Applicant Name or the Release Date in the Property Restrictions of the Advance Search. If you search by subject matter this tool will also provide you with results that include all information written on our website about the topic you are searching.
• Similar to the Current Applications Tool, it is recommended that you use the drop down menu to select Contains for the search, as it allows for more flexibility.
Viewing Documents and Document Properties
• To view a document (Notice, Order, Decision, Licence) simply click on the hyper-linked Name of the document either directly from the home page or go to the Decision, Order, Notice or Licence section of the website to see the complete list in reverse chronological order.
• If you access the document from the section you have an interest in, you may view the properties of a document and a list other related documents posted to the website. To do this hover over the Name of the document and click on the pull down menu that appears then select View Properties. The details of the document are then listed, and at the bottom of the page links to related documents are provided. Please use E-filing Services to access a complete list of documents associated with an application, such as exhibits which are not posted to the website.
• To sort or filter document lists, hover over the column titles (Name, Primary Applicant, Application Description or Release Date). From the pull down menu you can then select to sort ascending or descending according to the alphabet, or select a certain Primary Applicant or Release Date to only view the documents that have those properties.
The Current Applications Tool (Found in the Applications section)
• If you would like to view all applications currently filed with the AUC, simply click on the Retrieve Data button. Please be patient as it may take a moment for the list to be uploaded to the page. You can sort the search results by using the Sort by and Group by pull down menus. Click on Attachments to open a new window that will display the active application in IAR or EPS.
• It may be useful to narrow the search of the Current Applications to retrieve the information most relevant to your needs. To use the filter in the Current Applications tool, select one of the Application Number, Primary Applicant or Description on the first pull down menu. It is then recommended that you select Contains from the second pull down menu because the current applications tool directly searches the AUC’s electronic filing systems, (IAR and EPS) and often naming conventions can differ according to who filed the application in the filing service. The Contains filter therefore gives you more flexibility in searching for what you need. You are then able to enter whatever information you would like into the empty field. If you would like to filter the search further, you can click the Add link on the far right to add another filter. When done entering your filters, click “Retrieve Data”. You can then sort the search results by using the Sort by and Group by pull down menus. Click on the Attachments Link to view the application in IAR/EPS.
