New features include:
- Continuous scroll enabling you to see your entire search session
- Automatic session capture as well as Session Management so you can review your search sessions for the past 30 days
- Enhanced record viewing allowing to quickly navigate to the next record
- Collapsing and expanding both the search and records allowing you to focus on the most relevant results

Qweb 2 can be found at the following link http://qexpprd.questel.fr
The previous version of Qweb will be available to you for the coming months but will not be enhanced.
The logo images are now available in the Finnish trademark database, FIMARK. They can be displayed using:
The reproduction images are now available in FRDESIGN for the French designs published since February 16, 1996. They can be displayed using:
- Qweb and Qweb2, which allow viewing of all the reproductions applied for one design
- Version 3.5a of Imagination Internet, which allows viewing of only the first reproduction of a design
And you will also be able to preview Indian data (aswell as patents from the other 40 authorities we cover) before it appears in DWPI, in the new DWPI First ViewSM file (DWPIFV) due to be launched on Questel•Orbit in May.
Ongoing, you will be able to access documents within two weeks from publication, in DWPI First View, and within 4-6 weeks in DWPI.
“Following the recent legislative changes, the number of patent filings is forecast to jump from current annual levels of about 10,000 per year to over 25,000 annually, with a corresponding increase in patent litigation,” --Brian Tyler, Executive Vice President of Corporate Markets, Thomson Scientific.
“Since India has now become a major player in the IP arena, we recognized the importance of giving our users comprehensive and quick access to Indian patents.”
The addition of Indian patent data means you can now access value-added patent information from 41 patent issuing authorities — giving you more comprehensive coverage of worldwide patents than ever before. And with data from major authorities, available within 30 days of publication in DWPI, you can have it faster too!
In collaboration with the French National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), we released the Markush Darc Software on a Unix Platform.
This new software version, dedicated to the Merged Markush Service (MMS), was developed to offer faster and more flexible searches and to open new intranet and in house capabilities. After thorough internal and users beta testing, this new software is now available on Questel•Orbit to provide a new Merged Markush Service.
Merged Markush Service, the structure file jointly produced by INPI and Thomson Scientific, provides the largest Markush structure coverage available online with 1,600,000 structures records representing 450,000,000 specific real and prophetic structures.
This product is derived from many years in identifying and indexing the chemical and pharmaceutical innovations disclosed in the patent literature. All chemical are covered form 1983 to present, and, for Pharmaceutical patents, the coverage goes back to 1978.

FamPat: Free Half-Day, Hands-on Training Sessions For Professional Searchers
Come and see how
FamPat
makes more sense of the search process: Search and display invention
based records.
While the focus of the training will be on FamPat, we will also look
at how this database relates to other databases such as: PlusPat, DWPI/WPAT/WPIL,
Inpadoc, and the Full-Text files.
Launched on February
1st of this year, FamPat,
the family design of PlusPat, represents a significant breakthrough
in patent family databases, offering greater searching options as well
as the added display convenience of family records, making FamPat easier
to use than PlusPat.
FamPat is searched exactly the same as PlusPat, filled with more than
50 million patent documents from over 75 worldwide patenting authorities.
