Thomson Scientific Makes File Histories Available Through Dialog

Patent and Trademark Researchers Have Instant Access to the World's
Largest In-House Inventory

    PHILADELPHIA and LONDON, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Thomson
Scientific, part of The Thomson Corporation (NYSE: TOC; TSX: TOC) and
leading provider of information solutions to the worldwide research and
business communities, today announced that research professionals can
now order file histories directly through patent and trademark databases
on Dialog(R), giving researchers the complete information on a patent or
trademark in one place.

    File histories are up-to-date accounts of the prosecution history
for published or granted patent cases and trademarks. Also called "file
wrappers," file histories provide the full history of a patent including
all documentation of the correspondence between the examiner at the
patent office and the applicant or their representatives. Thomson
Scientific is the world's largest provider of file histories, with an
extensive in-house inventory. Its coverage of international file
histories spans over 40 languages and countries.

    "Providing access to file histories through Dialog enhances the
productivity of intellectual property researchers by giving them
streamlined access to the resources they need," said David Brown,
Executive Vice President, Thomson Scientific, Corporate Markets. "This
is another example of how we are leveraging our capabilities to deliver
comprehensive patent solutions to our customers."
