INPADOC replaced by INPADOCDB on STN
The European Patent Office (EPO) has completed the INPADOC(PRS) and DOCDB harmonization project. Data from this project are available in the new International Patent Documentation Database (INPADOCDB) on STN, replacing the current INPADOC database. INPADOC will remain on STN as a static database until June 10, 2007. By mid-May 2007, INPADOCDB will be available on STN Easy.
As the worlds largest repository of bibliographic patent data, INPADOCDB covers 80 patent-issuing organizations and includes records from certain organizations dating back to the 1800s. INPADOCDB also includes INPADOC legal status data from 48 organizations. In total, INPADOCDB includes 51 million records and is updated weekly with 70,000-100,000 additional new records.
Current-awareness alerts (SDIs) are no longer processed in INPADOC. The first weekly SDI will be processed in INPADOCDB on May 9, 2007. All SDI and saved search results from INPADOC must be retrieved before June 10, 2007.
INPADOC SDIs have been transferred automatically to INPADOCDB there is no need to set up SDIs again. However, queries that include patent kind codes may need to be updated. DOCDB patent kind codes replaced IFD codes in INPADOCDB. A list of patent kind code changes is available from FIZ Karlsruhe at INPADOCDB Publication Kind Codes. In addition, INPADOCDB records now include Abstract (AB) in the ALL display format. If you do not wish to display AB, use BIB.M (IBIB.M) or STD.M (ISTD.M) display formats as alternatives.
Details on content enhancements, new search fields, new display formats, and major changes from INPADOC are available from FIZ Karlsruhe at INPADOCDB - The Reloaded INPADOC File. Enter HELP COST in INPADOCDB for details on pricing.
For additional information, refer to the INPADOCDB Database Summary Sheet.
