FIZ Search Service

Due to vacation, sickness or work overload, information and research departments may suffer staff shortages or a lack of resources. This can lead to an involuntary shortage or delay in providing information and will directly affect the efficiency of research processes. A professional search conducted by the scientists from our search service will help you quickly solve this problem.

The FIZ Search Service offers information on patent and non-patent literature in the fields of chemistry – incl. (Markush) structure searches, sequences searches, and toxicology (REACH). To this end, our team mainly uses the information service STN. Other sources of information can be included upon request. We will work in close collaboration with you to ensure that content and objective of the search will meet your specific requirements. The results are processed according to your wishes.

Scripts automate your search processes in one or more databases. Scripts are particularly useful for the following applications:

• Executing manual alerts including searching in a multi-file environment,
• Deduplication
• Exporting search results into protocol files (transcripts)
• Monitoring chemical structures in all relevant databases ( CAS, Derwent, and ReaxysFile) 

We plan patent monitoring profiles for you and implement them in our FIZ PatMon service. We advise you on suitable monitoring criteria and thus draft customized profiles that are  tailored to your specific requirements.  You will receive the monitoring results by e-mail directly from the FIZ PatMon account.

The prices for a search consist of the charges for the processing time (charged by 15-minute interval) and the costs for the online search and the display of information in STN.

If you would like us to perform a search for you, please contact us. We will be happy to provide you with detailed advice and a free, non-committal time and cost estimate. We will also inform you on specific funding possibilities.

Our FIZ Search Service will be happy to implement scripts for automated STN search profiles in one or more databases for you. All features of the powerful STN retrieval language are available.  Scripts are particularly useful for the following applications:

• Deduplication
• Displaying results and creating one or more transcripts
• Monitoring chemical structures in all relevant databases ( CAS, Derwent, and ReaxysFile)
