Release
of FamPat Plus with Full-Text Key Content
Questel•Orbit announced the release of FamPat Plus,
a full text key content enhancement to its international patent
database, FamPat, offering users more focused, searchable
and displayable content.
This new key content in FamPat Plus includes Patent Object,
Advantages and Previous Patent Drawbacks, as well as Independent
Claims, and offers users a number of advantages over full-text
patent searching, including less “noise” and more
focused results, as well as a way for customers to quickly
find key information 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.

The
SDI Feature in Merged Markush Service (MMS)
Questel•Orbit MMS customers can now set up and receive
SDIs (selective disseminations of information also known
as Alerts) for new chemical structures added to the latest
updates in the Merged Markush Service. These SDIs will extract
new compound number (CN) results from updates of MMS that
match an SDI query. SDI results can in particular include
both generic and specific Derwent Compound Registry (DCR)
compound numbers. Customers then have a choice of recalling
these CN results in either MMS or in the Thomson Derwent
World Patents Index bibliographic databases DWPI and DWPX.
