INPADOC reloaded, enhanced, and<br />
renamed as <strong>INPADOCDB</strong> on <strong>STN</strong><br />
• INPADOC and the Documentation Database<br />
(DOCDB) form the basis of the new file<br />
– <strong>INPADOCDB</strong> = INPADOC + DOCDB<br />
• Produced by the European Patent Office (EPO)<br />
• New search functionality and enhanced content<br />
compared to INPADOC<br />
• Search and display features of INPADOC were<br />
preserved in <strong>INPADOCDB</strong><br />
• <strong>INPADOCDB</strong> on <strong>STN</strong> was released 4/29/2007<br />
<strong>INPADOCDB</strong> database content<br />
• Bibliographic and patent family information for<br />
80 patent authorities from the mid-1800’s<br />
• Applicant abstracts for 42 patent authorities<br />
• Classification codes include reformed IPC,<br />
ECLA, NCL, ICO, IDT<br />
• Legal status for 48 patent authorities from 1978<br />
• Cited references from 12 patent authorities<br />
• More than 63 million documents<br />
• Updated weekly<br />

Patent classifications in <strong>INPADOCDB</strong><br />
• International Patent Classifications IPC<br />
• European Patent Office Classifications:<br />
– European Patent Classification ECLA EPC<br />

International Patent Classification<br />
• Administered by WIPO<br />
– Based on the Strasbourg Agreement of 1971<br />
– Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) signatory<br />
authorities must classify patent publications<br />
using IPC codes<br />
• 7 editions prior to IPC Reform (1968-2005)<br />
– 5 level hierarchy covering all technologies<br />
– Top level split into 8 sections (A-H)<br />
Main features of IPC Reform<br />
• A new two level scheme<br />
– Core for smaller patent offices<br />
– Advanced for larger patent offices and International<br />
Search Authorities (ISAs)<br />
• Backfile reclassification for pre-2006 documents<br />
– Worldwide Master Classification Database (MCD)<br />
• created and maintained by the EPO<br />
• Made available to patent information vendors<br />
– All documents subject to on-going reclassifications<br />
• More frequent revisions<br />

Name searching tips<br />
• Inventors typically: surname, first name<br />
– Some records: first name, surname<br />
• Remember an individual can be a patent<br />
assignee (PA, PAS) as well as an inventor<br />
• Remember to also search names in Legal Status<br />
fields for reassignments and/or corrections<br />
• Super search name fields are available<br />
–/PASS includes /PA, /PAS and /LSPA<br />

Additional tips for name searches<br />
• Allow for misspellings due to typos or<br />
transliteration<br />
• Inventor names can be Surname Initial(s)<br />
(no full first name given)<br />
• Non alpha-numeric characters are replaced with<br />
an (S) operator by <strong>STN</strong><br />
– Use quotation marks to retain special characters<br />
=> S “FISCHER & PORTER”/PA<br />
– Use truncation to retrieve names in which the query<br />
phrase is embedded<br />
=> S “FISCHER & PORTER”?/PA<br />

=> OCTOBER 1, 2002/PD (Publication Date)<br />
=> 3 APRIL 1999/AD (Application Date)<br />
=> NOV 2005/PRD (Priority Date)<br />
• Use Publication Year (PY) where possible<br />

• <strong>INPADOCDB</strong> and CAPLUS kind codes are now<br />
the same, i.e., US AA => US A1<br />
• EXPAND PK to see all publication kind codes<br />
covered by <strong>INPADOCDB</strong><br />
• Browse by descriptions using EXPAND in e.g.<br />
the Patent Information Type (PIT) field<br />
• PIT, AIT and PRAIT are included in MAX<br />
See http://www.stn-international.de/stndatabases/details/pk_codes.pdf.<br />
Kind codes are appended to the end of<br />

• Utility model numbers in <strong>INPADOCDB</strong> are<br />
uniquely indexed with an appended U<br />
– FI9500103U/PN or JP2001-2409U/AP<br />
• US provisional (series 60) application numbers<br />
have a P appended, i.e., US2003-440129P/PRN<br />
• Patent authorities with overlapping number<br />
series for different publication types<br />
– Append a kind code letter in <strong>INPADOCDB</strong><br />

Tips for cost effective family displays<br />
• Price for family displays cut in half - $4.80<br />
• On <strong>STN</strong>, this includes legal status and<br />
citations for all family members<br />
• To incur only one family display charge<br />
– Use multiple formats in one display command<br />
• => D CFAM TI.F PA.F IFAM<br />
– Search for only one publication per family, then<br />
display the entire family<br />
– To choose display format<br />
• => D BROWSE<br />
• At each : prompt, enter a display format (CFAM, FFAM,…)<br />
• To exit, type “END” at the : prompt<br />
Use this<br />

(which includes FSORT).<br />

Legal status searching<br />
• Legal status data are available for 48 patent<br />
authorities for about 12 million records<br />
• Legal status information is searchable with over<br />
2,600 legal status codes (LSC, LSTX)<br />
• Great variety of search and display options, e.g.<br />
applicant reassignment LSPA<br />
opponent LSOP<br />
legal effect date LSDF<br />
For a complete list of legal status search options see:<br />
http://www.stn-international.de/training_center/patents/inpadoc903.pdf<br />
Searching legal status events<br />
• Two methods<br />
– Search for the code in the LSC field<br />
– In the LSTX field, search for text terms linked<br />
by the sentence operator (S) to limit to the<br />
same legal status events<br />
=> S (EXPIR?(S)FAIL?)/LSTX<br />
• Use the L-operator to link LSTX or LSC to<br />
the INPADOC Legal Status Date (LSD)<br />
42<br />
83<br />
84
Legal status display options<br />
• Standard format legal status display – LS<br />
• Detailed, fielded legal status – LS2<br />
• Legal status is included in the MAX format<br />
• Legal status is included in the FFAM,<br />
LFAM, MFAM, and IFAM family display<br />
formats<br />

Search Question:<br />
Find all Qiagen publications which have been<br />
cited by another company’s publications with a<br />
search report category type of “X”.<br />
Background: An “X” search report category<br />
indicates that the Qiagen publication is<br />
particularly relevant to the citing document,<br />
which could mean that the citing patent assignee<br />
is beginning to branch out into Qiagen’s<br />
technology area.<br />

ABSTRACT (ENGLISH): The invention relates to the use of a halogen-free<br />
multi-layer sheet materia l comprising (i) a base film<br />
of a polymer comprising the reaction product of a<br />
precursor mixture comprising at least one<br />
hydroxy-functional resin and an aminoplast<br />
cross-linking agent; (ii) an adhesive layer; and (iii)<br />
optionally , a release liner, as a label or a label<br />
stock or in the manufacture of a lase r cuttable<br />
and/or laser markable article. The invention also<br />

ABSTRACT (ENGLISH): The invention relates to the use of a halogen-free<br />
multi-layer sheet material comprising (i) a base film<br />
of a polymer comprising the reaction product of a<br />
precursor mixture comprising at least one<br />
hydroxy-functional resin and an aminoplast<br />
cross-linking agent; (ii) an adhesive layer; and (iii)<br />
optionally, a release liner, as a label or a label<br />
stock or in the manufacture of a laser cuttable and/or<br />
laser markable article. The invention also relates to<br />
the use of a halogen-free film of a polymer comprising<br />
the reaction product of a precursor mixture comprising<br />
at least one hydroxy-functional resin and an<br />
aminoplast cross-linking agent in a laser cuttable<br />
and/or laser-markable article.<br />
