Questel Key Content

 

What is a key content?

A key content is composed of high value-added fields
extracted from the core of the patents' full text using highly sophisticated linguistic and semantic technologies.
Such fields have been described as follows :

  1. Object of the invention
  2. Advantages of the new invention and Drawback of prior art
  3. Independent claims

Sample here.

 

Why use the key content?

The key content is ideal for relevant searching and quick browsing of your results:

  • Your searching is more accurate because you search only the relevant part of long patent text
  • Reading the results is less time-consuming because you only read the key part on the patent which can sometimes be buried within a patent’s full text.

This strikes the right balance between limited recall when searching bibliographic patent files and the flood of false drops often generated when searching full text.

Case study

  1. You don’t want to search full-text to avoid an overflow of inaccurate results
  2. So you restrict your search to the “standard” bibliographic fields (Title, Abstract…)
  3. You want to search on “internal combustion engine” AND “exhaust” AND “catalytic muffler”

Only FamPat with the KEY CONTENT will retrieve the following record (click here for pdf or see below) as catalytic muffler only appears in the advantages/prior drawbacks.
