Find Information on New Technologies and Pending Patents?
TOPIC: Information on pending U.S. patents may be obtained in the patent databases only if the application has published internationally or in the U.S. as a Pre-grant publication.
Using Dialog NewsRoom (File 990), a comprehensive, global news source that covers the leading newspapers, business magazines and newswires from all regions of the world, and Gale Group Newsletter Database (File 636), which contains the fulltext of specialty industry newsletters, you will be able to find additional, late-breaking information on pending patents for new technologies, as well as the background on the companies pursuing the patents.
COMMAND SUMMARY
BEGIN 636,990
SELECT PATENT?(1N)(PENDING? OR APPLIC?)
SELECT S1 AND PROVECTUS/CO
REMOVE DUPLICATES
TYPE S3/8/1-3 FROM EACH
TYPE S3/7/16
HOW TO...

1. BEGIN Files 636 and 990 to search two key business databases together.
2. SELECT terms for the first concept. Use the proximity connector (1N) for words adjacent, within one intervening word, in any order. OR synonyms together and enclose in parentheses.
3. Combine Set 1 (S1) with the name of the company in which you are interested on the Company Name field (/CO).
4. REMOVE DUPLICATES (RD) when searching more than one database. |

|

5. TYPE a sampling of titles FROM EACH of the databases using Format 8,K, which gives titles, publication dates and descriptors, and Key Word in Context (KWIC [K]).
To select the appropriate record number, look at the range of records in the TYPE command (e.g., 3/8,K/16 (Item 2 from File 990)).
Note: Some records have been omitted from this display. |

|

6. TYPE selected records in Format 7, which gives the Bibliographic Citation and the Text.
The TYPE command in the example requests record number 16, which is the second record from File 990. The searcher may also use the FROM command and the database number to select a record from a particular database. For example, the TYPE command could have read T S3/7/2 FROM 990 to display the same record.
Note: Part of this record is omitted from the display |
