Questel
IP portal for Patent
Questel has the pleasure to announce the release,
on November 27th, of a new alerting service
featuring additional flexibility and options.
Alerts portfolio :
- Accessible to all Questel users for
retrieving, searching and managing alert
results
- All alerts and results are all available
at www.questel.com/qip
and stored for a year at no cost (starting
in September 2008)
QPAT 6.7 :
The above alerts portfolio is fully integrated
into QPAT and makes alerts very easy to set
up, consult, modify and manage. Thus, users
can now choose :
- to run alerts weekly or monthly (or
even choose a different update code)
- to receive results when an abstract
is available only
- to refine or expand the strategy of
existing alerts
- to designate very easily the Workfiles (PatentExaminer)
workfile module to store, analyse, rate,
annotate alert results, attach documents
and share everything or selected workfiles
with your colleagues
- to not receive email notification when
an alert run shows no result
- to not receive emails at all and consult
results through the portfolio only
All alert results now also contain, at no
additional cost:
- a link to the patent copy in pdf (or
to each family member's if a family is
available)
- a link to the mosaic of all drawings
in pdf
- a link to the available registers when
available (CA, CN, EP, GB, KR, US, WO...)
- a link to the dynamic citation graph
(showing cited and citing references)
Finally, all alerts on patent legal status,
family information or register modifications
can be accessed from the same portfolio, in
the designated section (PatLegal Monitor).
