What is Derwent World Patents Index?<br />
• The largest value-added patent database<br />
– Covers 47 patenting organizati<strong>on</strong>s<br />
• An index of global patent publicati<strong>on</strong>s<br />
– C<strong>on</strong>cise patent families<br />
– Enhanced English titles and abstracts<br />
– Patent Assignee Codes<br />
– Classificati<strong>on</strong> and Indexing<br />
• Produced by Thoms<strong>on</strong> Reuters<br />
What is “value-add" in <str<strong>on</strong>g>DWPI</str<strong>on</strong>g>?<br />
• An enhanced, meaningful title (TI), and patentfocused<br />
abstract (AB) reveal the actual inventi<strong>on</strong><br />
• An additi<strong>on</strong>al Technology Focus (TECH) abstract,<br />
highlights the preferred features of the inventi<strong>on</strong><br />
• A high-quality bibliography summarizes global<br />
publicati<strong>on</strong> details for a particular inventi<strong>on</strong><br />
• Patent Assignee Codes (PACO) assist in retrieving<br />
comprehensive company search answer sets<br />
• Proprietary subject indexing and classificati<strong>on</strong>,<br />
combined with original Patent Office classificati<strong>on</strong>,<br />
provide precise and unique search opti<strong>on</strong>s<br />

Opti<strong>on</strong>: DCR searches can also be refined<br />
using a series of DCR Number Roles<br />
• DCR Number Roles help describe the c<strong>on</strong>text of<br />
an indexed compound within the patent, e.g.<br />
– compound is prepared, purified or part of a mixture<br />
– compound is claimed or from the examples<br />
• Use the (T)-Term proximity operator to refine<br />
DCR searches DCR Number Roles<br />
– For example: => S L2 /DCR (T) PRD/DCR<br />
– Where PRD = the Produced (synthesized) Role<br />

Hands-<strong>on</strong> Practice<br />
SUBJECT SEARCHING<br />
1. What did you have for breakfast this morning? Choose <strong>on</strong>e item of<br />
food or drink and search for patents <strong>on</strong> that subject. Take a look at<br />
a selecti<strong>on</strong> of titles (compare SCAN, TRIAL, SUM and simply TI)<br />
and display <strong>on</strong>e database record in full (compare formats MAX,<br />
ALL, IALL, FULL, IFULL) and <strong>on</strong>e in a bibliographic format<br />
(compare BIB, IBIB, FAM). [SEE PAGES 15 & 19]<br />
2. Search for patents <strong>on</strong> fireworks. How many of these relate<br />
specifically to rockets? Extract those records which c<strong>on</strong>tain<br />
images (=> S Lx AND GI/FA). Display some of the images <strong>on</strong>line<br />
(ALLG, FULLG or simply GI). Print some records to email. Type<br />
HELP PRINT if you need instructi<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong> how to use the PRINT<br />
command. [SEE PAGES 15-19]<br />
3. There have been many inventi<strong>on</strong>s dealing with earthquake<br />
resistant building comp<strong>on</strong>ents. Gather these together and display<br />
a few records in a format which includes patent assignees and<br />
patent numbers. (Hint: <str<strong>on</strong>g>DWPI</str<strong>on</strong>g> Classes Q44 and Q45 will make your<br />
search easier.) [SEE PAGES 15 & 20-21]<br />
4. Use <str<strong>on</strong>g>DWPI</str<strong>on</strong>g> Class D25 to search for patents c<strong>on</strong>cerned with<br />
detergents, then use ANALYZE to find out which companies have<br />
applied for the greatest number of patents in this area. (You will<br />
probably retrieve a very large number of records; to save time, do<br />
not ANALYZE all of them!) [SEE PAGES 20-21, 25-28 & 36-37]<br />
73
Hands-<strong>on</strong> Practice<br />
5. Over the years, numerous people have come up with novel ideas<br />
for dual-purpose c<strong>on</strong>vertible traveling or camping accessories (for<br />
instance a waterproof jacket that can be c<strong>on</strong>verted into a sleeping<br />
bag). Trying to find all these inventi<strong>on</strong>s using keywords would be<br />
virtually impossible because there are so many possibilities - but<br />
the IPC leads us straight to the answer. Search the following IPCs<br />
using the correct search format and display titles (TI) and IPCs<br />
(IPC) from a few of the resulting records. [SEE PAGES 23-24]<br />
A 41 D 15/04 Garments c<strong>on</strong>vertible into other articles<br />
A 45 F 4 Travel or camping articles which may be<br />
c<strong>on</strong>verted into articles for other use<br />
6. EPI MANUAL CODES: Carry out a keyword search for illuminated<br />
clock faces and hands. Use SELECT or ANALYZE to check which<br />
<strong>Manual</strong> Codes (MC) are most applicable in this subject area then,<br />
using these <strong>Manual</strong> Codes, try to find further relevant patents.<br />
(Suitable <strong>Manual</strong> Codes include S04-A02X which covers the<br />
illuminati<strong>on</strong> of mechanical clocks and watches – and S04-B04 - for<br />
electr<strong>on</strong>ic displays.) [SEE PAGES 20-21]<br />
7. CPI MANUAL CODES: Carry out a keyword search for artificial<br />
joints and limbs. Compare your result with the number of records<br />
retrieved in a search using <strong>Manual</strong> Code D09-C01D. Why are the<br />
results so different? [SEE PAGES 20-21]<br />
8. Extend the search from Questi<strong>on</strong> 3 to include <str<strong>on</strong>g>DWPI</str<strong>on</strong>g> original titles,<br />
abstracts and main claims (/BIEX). How many additi<strong>on</strong>al records<br />
are found? [SEE PAGE 18-19]<br />
9. EP714631 describes a lancet for taking blood samples. Use the<br />
citati<strong>on</strong>s given in PCI to find patents <strong>on</strong> the same or similar topics.<br />
(TIP: search the patent in PN field of file DPCI, SELECT the<br />
cited/citing patents - PN.D, PN.G - from the record retrieved, return<br />
to file WPINDEX and search the E-numbered items in the PN field.<br />
Display the records retrieved. Could the same result be achieved<br />
using Accessi<strong>on</strong> Numbers?) [SEE PAGE 64]<br />

Hands-<strong>on</strong> Practice<br />
BIBLIOGRAPHIC SEARCHING<br />
10. Somebody has invented a cat flap (a small door-within-a-door for<br />
a domestic cat to enter and leave a house) that distinguishes<br />
between black and ginger cats. Find the appropriate record in<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>DWPI</str<strong>on</strong>g> and display it in the most cost effective format which will<br />
enable you to read an abstract. What else can this inventi<strong>on</strong> be<br />
used for? What is the name of the patent assignee? Does he<br />
have any other patents? [SEE PAGES 19 & 29-30]<br />
11. A number of years ago Kodak Clinical Diagnostics applied for a<br />
patent relating to the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. In which<br />
countries did they seek protecti<strong>on</strong>? [SEE PAGES 19 & 25-28]<br />
12. Retrieve all the patents applied for by De Beers. (Hint: use<br />
EXPAND to display all the company names beginning "De<br />
Beers..." then identify the correct PACO by using the Patent<br />
Assignee Code Thesaurus.) In which country is their patenting<br />
activity c<strong>on</strong>centrated? C<strong>on</strong>duct an analysis using SELECT or<br />
ANALYZE <strong>on</strong> various country fields to find the most comm<strong>on</strong>ly<br />
occurring patent country or designated state. Which country<br />
codes give the most meaningful informati<strong>on</strong>? [SEE PAGES 25-28]<br />
13. Retrieve all of Toshiba KK basic patent applicati<strong>on</strong>s published<br />
between 1990 and 1992 (inclusive). Identify those which do not<br />
have a Japanese priority. Which is the most comm<strong>on</strong> priority<br />
country for these applicati<strong>on</strong>s? [SEE PAGES 25-28 & 42-45]<br />
14. From which country did ES 8605209 originate? How much time<br />
elapsed between the date of this first applicati<strong>on</strong> and the date of<br />
publicati<strong>on</strong> of the first family member? [SEE PAGE 31]<br />
75
Hands-<strong>on</strong> Practice<br />
15. How many PCT applicati<strong>on</strong>s (country code WO) were published<br />
in 1991? How many of these designated Germany? How many<br />
of these records have a German (DE) patent family member?<br />
(TIP: to display designated states use PI) [SEE PAGE 35]<br />
16. Search for patents <strong>on</strong> the Japanese delicacy sushi. Exclude from<br />
your search all patent and patent applicati<strong>on</strong>s which have <strong>on</strong>ly<br />
been published in Japan. (Hint: use the country count CYC or<br />
patent number count PNC fields.) How many of the remaining<br />
records have a Japanese priority? [SEE PAGES 35 & 42-45]<br />
17. Search for Japanese number 38211, from 1984. This might be<br />
an applicati<strong>on</strong> number, a Kokai or Kokoku publicati<strong>on</strong> number.<br />
Search for all three possibilities. [SEE PAGE 35 & 42-45]<br />
18. Using keywords combined with <str<strong>on</strong>g>DWPI</str<strong>on</strong>g> Class W04, retrieve all the<br />
inventi<strong>on</strong>s relating to music CDs. Isolate those which have been<br />
patented by S<strong>on</strong>y. With which other companies does S<strong>on</strong>y share<br />
the patent rights? (Hint: rather than displaying all the records,<br />
use ANALYZE to get an overview of the names or codes<br />
appearing in the patent assignee field.) [SEE PAGES 20-21 & 36]<br />
19. Use ANALYZE <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>DWPI</str<strong>on</strong>g> Classificati<strong>on</strong> (DC) and IPC subclass<br />
(SCL) to find out about Zebra Co Ltd products. Display the<br />
results in delimited (DELIM) format. [SEE PAGES 20-21 & 36]<br />
