Search Solution
Intellectual Property: Beyond the Patent, Trademark and Copyright
Databases
Patent, trademark and copyright searchers should remember to consult
databases outside the usual scope of Dialog's Intellectual Property content.
Using Dialog's business databases, users can often find information on
licensing agreements, litigation, patent pending technology, and statistical
information.
This Search Solution will instruct you on strategies for:
1. Finding information on patent, trademark or copyright licensing
agreements.
2. Finding information on patent, trademark or copyright
litigation.
3. Finding information on new technologies and pending patents.
4. Finding statistical information relating to patents.
Note: In the following examples, the commands will appear
on the left side in bold and discussion on the right side.

1. Finding information on patent licensing agreements involving a
particular company
While INPADOC, File 345, may indicate a patent licensing agreement, File 9,
Business & Industry, may offer more details on such arrangements and may
give information on agreements not covered by INPADOC. The following strategy
may also be adjusted to find information on trademark or copyright licensing
agreements.

2. Finding information on patent litigation
In addition to licensing information, File 9, Business and Industry, also
provides details about patent, trademark, and copyright
litigation, as well as news of litigation at the U.S. Federal Circuit/ Supreme
Court level e.g., CT=PATENTS AND LITIGATION. File 670, LitAlert, while a great
resource for Intellectual Property litigation information, only covers U.S.
District Court level activity and gives little detail concerning the issues
involved.

3. Finding information on new technologies and pending patents
Information on pending U.S. patents can be found in File 351, Derwent World
Patents Index, only if the application has published internationally. Using
Files 621, Gale Group New Product Announcements/Plus® and File
636, Gale Group Newsletter Database™, you may be able to find
additional information on pending patents for new technologies.
