CA/CAplus enhanced with additional kind codes for granted patents
Additional kind codes have been added to CA/CAplus for granted patents received prior to the published patent application. The kind codes are used for selection of basic patents and include:
- B1 Korean Intellectual Patent Office (KR)
- B2 Japan Patent Office (JP)
- B2 United States Patent and Trademark Office (US)
- B4 German Patent and Trademark Office (DE)
- C Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CA)
- P3 United States Patent and Trademark Office (US)
First available publication dates for granted patents from JP, US, DE, and CA are in the first week of July 2007. For granted patents from KR, the first available publication date is February 1, 2007.
In addition, patents issued by the Hungarian Patent Office (HU) to non-residents are now included in CA/CAplus.
CA/CAplus enhanced with CAS indexing in pre-1907 records
Subject and substance indexing has been added to more than 11,500 pre-1907 records in CA/CAplus. Records included in this enhancement represent original articles and article and patent abstracts from the following journals:
- Journal of the American Chemical Society
- Journal of Physical Chemistry
- Journal of the Chemical Society, Transactions
- Journal of the Chemical Society, Abstracts
Many of the U.S. patent abstract records have been replaced with patent records that include more extensive bibliographic and abstract information. CAS indexing based on the patent abstract from the original CA/CAplus record is included in these records.
Additional indexing of pre-1907 records will follow in the coming months.
Visit Patent Coverage in Chemical Abstracts or refer to the CA/CAplus Database Summary Sheets for additional information.

FSTA enhanced with new thesaurus edition
Food Science and Technology Abstracts (FSTA) has been enhanced with the FSTA Thesaurus Eighth Edition. The Eighth edition contains 10,246 terms, including 700 new terms added since the last edition. All terms are carefully chosen keywords relating to the fields of food science, food technology, and food-related human and pet nutrition. Selection of terms is based on frequency of occurrence in FSTA.
Refer to the FSTA Database Summary Sheet for additional information.

REGISTRY enhanced with new experimental property tags
New experimental property tags (ETAG) have been added to REGISTRY. The tags are applied to new proteins and nucleic acids added to REGISTRY and refer to biochemistry-related data, including:
- Allele frequency and heterozygosity
- Disease-related mutations
- Drug targets
- Functional sites
- Genetic mapping
- Genetic polymorphisms
- Human disease-related mutations
- Non-human animal disease-related mutations
- Plant disease-related mutations
- Post-translational protein modifications
- Subcellular localization

USPATOLD now available on STN
U.S. Patents Pre-1976 (USPATOLD) is now available on STN. USPATOLD includes more than 3.5 million records and covers the full text of patents issued from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) from 1790-1975.
USPATOLD records represent original U.S. patent documents converted into electronic form through an optical character recognition (OCR) process. Due to limitations of this technology, some USPATOLD records may include misinterpreted characters or portions of the patent text may be missing. To address these limitations, approximately 500,000 USPATOLD records, representing patents also covered by CAplus, were supplemented with CAS data.
Search fields with CAS data:
- Title (TI)
- Patent Assignee (PA)
- Inventor (IN)
Display fields with CAS data:
- Title (TI.CA)
- Patent Assignee (PA.CA)
- Inventor (IN.CA)
Additional enhancements to USPATOLD include:
- CAS indexing, including CAS Registry Numbers
- CAS Registry Number crossover searching
- Simultaneous left and right truncation (SLART) in the Basic Index (BI), Claims (CLM), Abstract (AB), and Title (TI) fields
While USPATOLD is a static database, it will be updated with changes to CAS indexing and International Patent Classification (IPC). USPATOLD is also a participating database in the STN Information Information Keep & Share Program.
For details on pricing, enter HELP COST at an arrow prompt (=>) in USPATOLD.
USPATOLD has been added to the BIOSCIENCE, CASRNS, CORPSOURCE, ENGINEERING, FULLTEXT, HPATENTS, METALS, MATERIALS, MEDICINE, PATENTS, PNTTEXT, POLYMERS, and USPATALL database clusters on STN. Refer to the USPATOLD Database Summary Sheet for additional information.
