How is FamPat family created?
Questel has developed a family definition which incorporates
the EPO’s strict family rule with additional rules
to include:
- Applications falling outside the 12 month filing limit;
- Links between EP and PCT publications;
- Combining US Provisionals that share the same priority
with US Published Applications.
FamPat’s family definitions also incorporate different patenting
authorities’ definitions of an invention, particularly useful
with
Japanese publication searching. |
