			<content:encoded><![CDATA[European Patent Classifications (ECLA) including 'In Computer Only' (ICO) codes and Current US National Patent Classifications will be added to the DWPI database (files WPINDEX/WPIDS/WPIX) from update 13 onwards. The corresponding backlog data have been added to the file on February 21, 2008. In the course of the backlog load about 8 million DWPI documents have been equipped with ECLA or US National Classification data. US National Classifications for 3.7 million patents and European Classifications for about 25 million patent publications have been added.
The ECLA and ICO codes have a specific format which is being treated like in other databases at STN (new fields EPC and ICO). While the main portion is a code resembling the IPCs apart from&nbsp; ICOs using initial letters outside the usual range employed by&nbsp; the IPCs, there can be shortcuts and suffixes requiring special attention. The codes themselves are then treated analogous to IPCs.
These codes will be introduced in DWPI along with the ECLA codes according to the same schedule. The implementation will follow the pattern already in existence at STN in other databases, closely resembling the pattern for the issued national classifications already present in the DWPI database (new field NCL).
Current Awareness Searches (SDI) will not be significantly affected by the backlog load procedure since Update Dates for these documents will not be written and therefore SDIs will not be triggered by these&nbsp; documents. Yet ECLA and US National Classification can appear in predefined displays comprising these.]]></content:encoded>

Its unique collection of about 200 scientific online databases makes STN the leading provider of sci-tech information. 
”For innovative companies monitoring technological trends, international markets and competitors, access to comprehensive, reliable patent information is essential,“ says Dr. Rainer Stuike-Prill, Vice President Marketing and Sales at FIZ Karlsruhe. “At present, no other database provider offers patent information of such high quality. INPADOCDB significantly enhances our patent information offer.“<br />&nbsp;<br />INPADOCDB (INternational PAtent DOCumentation Data Base) currently contains about 63 million documents, with new documents added weekly. At first sight, this large amount of data seems almost unmanageable. However, STN International’s sophisticated search system allows for very targeted search queries, so that the obtained results precisely answer the searcher’s questions. Efficient software tools help analyze the results - not only shedding light on the state of the art, but also on the market and the competitive environment. Thus, the information obtained is an excellent basis for strategic business decisions. It is also advisable to carry out this kind of strategic searching in order to protect one’s own patent rights. 
Patents and utility models from 80 patent organizations worldwide can be searched in INPADOCDB, including patent documents filed with the EPO and the WIPO. Time coverage for the most important industrialized countries reaches back to the 19th century (for example, USA (1836), GB (1840), D (1879), FR (1900), in case of Japan back to 1944). Database documents contain bibliographical information on the patent documents and are linked to the full texts available with the document provider. Patent family information, patent classification, and legal status data are also available. Thus, users obtain an overview of all important facts related to the patent. Most documents contain abstracts in English providing quick information on the described invention for which a patent has been filed. 
INPADOCDB is built from electronic patent data provided by the European Patent Office. A scientific editorial team at FIZ Karlsruhe checks these data for quality and corrects them, if need be. Therefore, the INPADOCDB documents meet a high quality standard. Thanks to the homogeneous design of all STN databases, search queries from INPADOCDB can easily be transferred to other databases on STN in order to obtain comprehensive search results. 
Background information<br />Today, patent authorities all over the world electronically collect and store patent data. These data not only are a well-structured source of information on filed and granted patents, but also offer a wealth of sci-tech information. For about twenty years, commercial information providers have been adding value to this information by providing and editing data with powerful retrieval systems as well as innovative analysis and visualization tools. High-quality patent databases are offered online, integrated into intranets or as in-house solutions. 
INPADOCDB was created by merging and revising the EPO’s well-established databases INPADOC and DOCDB. The database obtained from this is offered by the EPO in a new format. This has given STN the opportunity to entirely review and reload the INPADOC file, a database very much appreciated and widely used in the scientific community. The 49 million documents from INPADOC have now become part of the 63 million documents contained in INPADOCDB. Automated patent monitoring functions, the so-called Selective Dissemination of Information [SDI] / Alert Services, are also available in INPADOCDB. ]]></content:encoded>

			<description>INPADOCDB - (INternational PAtent DOCumentation Data Base).</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The European Patent Office (EPO) has completed the harmonization project between their two data files INPADOC(PRS) and DOCDB. This new collection of data is now delivered in a new format called DOCDB XML ST.36. The delivery of the old IFD format for INPADOC will be discontinued after week 2007/17, so that the current INPADOC file cannot be updated after this date. STN is creating a new database, INPADOCDB, from the new XML data and will also load the INPADOC legal status data into that database. 
While we strive to keep changes for search and display at a minimum, the new file offers a lot of new and enhanced content:
<ul><li>about 63 million documents (old file: 49 million documents), </li><li>backfile back to 1836(US), 1879(DE), 1840(GB), 1900(FR), 1944(JP), etc. </li><li>many more abstracts, mostly in English, </li><li>cited references (patents and non-patent literature) for 11 offices. Citations from all searches made at the EPO for BE, CH, EP, FR,GB, NL, TR and all WO are loaded as well as data from AU, DE and US, </li><li>European classifications (ECLA, ICO, IDT), </li><li>many original bibliographic data and abstracts.</li></ul>
The new data and the implementation of the new file cause a few major changes from the old file:
<ul><li>the patent kind codes change from the IFD format to the DOCDB format. A comparison table can be found at<br /><link http://www.stn-international.de/stndatabases/details/pk_codes.pdf>http://www.stn-international.de/stndatabases/details/pk_codes.pdf</link> </li><li>the accession numbers (field AN) will change. This means that saved answer sets and data for the historical remove SDI function from the old file INPADOC are not available in the new file INPADOCDB but starting again newly, </li><li>the publications in a record are sorted by publication date PD and not by the entry date ED, as in the old file. The so-called LEVEL indicator will no longer be used,</li><li>&quot;Other Sources, Chemical Abstracts&quot; (search and display field OSCA) and &quot;Other Sources, Derwent&quot; (search and display field OSDW) are not available in the new data,</li><li>&quot;Related Patent Information&quot; (display field RLI) is not available in the new data.</li></ul>
<strong>Effects on Alerts (SDIs)</strong>
Please note that STN will transfer your automatic alerts (SDIs) into the new file INPADOCDB. There is no need to change the query or the set-up of your SDI, unless 
<ul><li>you are using Patent Kind Codes (/PK) as a search field. In that case you need to adapt the kind codes used to the new DOCDB kind codes. Refer to the comparison table at <br /><link http://www.stn-international.de/stndatabases/details/pk_codes.pdf>http://www.stn-international.de/stndatabases/details/pk_codes.pdf</link> </li><li>you use the ALL display format and you do not like to receive abstracts included in your answers. Change to the BIB (IBIB) or STD (ISTD) formats instead.</li></ul>]]></content:encoded>
