## Purpose

This Data Location Document generated for the ERM (Electronic Records
Management) Data Group identifies the data that comprises the official
file and the AIS where that data is stored. This document is part of the
ERM documentation for the Image File Wrapper (IFW).

## Official File Content Location

IFW is the image system of the USPTO that serves as the repository of
the electronic file wrapper and replaces the official paper file. IFW
contains TIFF images of all incoming applications, follow-on papers and
applicant correspondence, and all USPTO-generated correspondence that
would be normally filed in the official paper application. IFW also
contains header data (metadata) about the documents in database form.

The following table lists the documents that will be currently stored in
IFW. (Please note that the document codes are sorted alphabetically by
description.)
