EPFULL enhanced with 260,000 English abstracts
Approximately 260,000 English patent application abstracts have been added to European Patents Full Text (EPFULL) to supplement existing pre-2003 patent application abstracts in German and French. As a result, comprehensiveness of English-language prior art searches in EPFULL has improved significantly.
Patent applications are filed with the European Patent Office (EPO) in English, German, or French. For patent applications filed before 2003, EPFULL previously included titles in all three languages and abstracts in the language of the publication only. With this enhancement, EPFULL now includes English abstracts from the EPO Patent Information Resource for approximately 80% of the pre-2003 German and French patent applications.
EPFULL covers bibliographic information and the full text of patent applications, granted patents, and corrections published by the EPO, as well as bibliographic data of EURO-PCT applications published in the EP Register. The database currently includes more than 2.4 million documents.
For additional information about EPFULL, refer to the STN Database Summary Sheet.

Updating of Korean Patent Abstracts (KOREAPAT) has resumed. More than 41,000 Unexamined and Granted Patents published between October 2007 and February 2008 have been added to the database. The Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) will now resume regular monthly updating.
KOREAPAT provides access to Korean patent information in English and covers Unexamined Patent Applications (A-documents) from 2000 to the present and Examined Patent Applications (B-documents) from 1979 to the present. The database currently includes more than 990,000 records.

REGISTRY includes selected substances from web-based collections
CAS is committed to maintaining the CAS REGISTRY as the authoritative collection of reputably disclosed chemical substance information.
During the past year, CAS has expanded the sources from which it draws substances and substance information to include selected substance collections on the web. For these substances, the Source of Registration (/SR) field displays the term Other Sources with the primary source listed directly below.
Examples include:
RN 1026599-14-3 REGISTRY
SR Other Sources
Database: ChemSpider (ChemZoo, Inc.)
RN 1025205-83-7 REGISTRY
SR Other Sources
Database: ChemDB (University of California
Irvine)
RN 1008444-43-6 REGISTRY

USPATFULL and USPAT2 updated with 11-character patent numbers for U.S. applications
USPATFULL and USPAT2 now include 11-character patent numbers for U.S. applications. The 11 character format is consistent with that used by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and other key STN patent resources, including Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI), INPADOCDB, CA/CAplus, and CASREACT.
Database crossover is not affected by the update. There is no need to edit current-awareness alerts (SDIs) that included 10-character patent numbers for U.S applications. In addition, searches using a 10- or 11-character number will retrieve the same record:
S US2008069838/PN
S US20080069838/PN
For additional information about USPATFULL and USPAT2, refer to the STN Database Summary Sheets.
