INPADOCDB / INPAFAMDB
The cited patent information has been enhanced with patent assignee names ofthe cited patent numbers. These new cited patent assignee names (/PAS.D) areavailable now available for search, too.
Two new SELECT fields are available. The field PRCF identifies the country ofof the first priority, the field PRCF.WO can be used to identify the countrywhere a first PCT priority was filed.
INSPEC
Following swiftly on from the addition of the10 millionth record last year, 2009 has seen a double celebration for Inspec® - its 40th anniversary and the upload of the 11 millionth record.
Established in 1969, Inspec® celebrated 40 years of innovative approaches to engineering and scientific research in 2009. It is the leading multi-disciplinary database covering the significant research and development literature in the fields of physics, electronics, communications, electrical engineering, control engineering, information technology, and the applications of computers to a wide variety of disciplines.
The database continues to grow with abstracts to over 4,000 journal titles, 2,700 conference proceedings, numerous books, technical reports, and dissertations added annually. In total around 700,000 records are added annually.
USGENE, PCTGEN new FASTA display
As of February 01 2010, the new sequence display formats FASTA and FASTA2 will be added to the sequence databases USGENE and PCTGEN. These FASTA display formats are widely accepted by 3rd party sequence analysis tools, so that sequence search results from USGENE and PCTGEN can directly be used for further analysis.
The new format FASTA comprises a header line providing a unique description of the sequence (accession number, sequence identity number and patent publication number) and the actual sequence in lines of 70 characters. FASTA2 is a lower-priced alternative format which provides the same sequence information with a truncated header line.
FASTA and FASTA2 can be used in combination with the standard display formats ALL and BRIEF generating no additional costs.
Example of FASTA- and FASTA2-format:
