Patent Forum Fall 2006
- The "Complete" Markush Search
MARPAT has been enhanced with approximately 40,000 additional records back to the 1970s, with more records to be added later in 2006. This session will focus on running a comprehensive generic structure search for patents on STN. In addition, the latest version of STN Express allows searching on the Merged Markush Service (MMS), hosted on Questel.Orbit. Techniques for bringing answers from MMS back to STN for family sorting and de-duplication with STN answers will be shown. - Using STN to Answer Technology Transfer and Licensing Questions
What are the best strategies for intellectual property management and licensing of new technologies? How can an organization identify the strongest strategic alliances for outsourcing and R&D collaborations? This session will focus on using the tools, resources, and global information available - Effective Multifile Searching for Patent Prior Art
While it's necessary to include DWPI and CAS files for any prior art search, it is often necessary to extend your search to other STN files for more comprehensive results. Explore the reasons for adding additional files to your search, including JAPIO, KOREAPAT, RUSSIAPAT, COMPENDEX and INSPEC (with its new archive dating back to 1898).
