Patents Delivered in PDF through Dialog SourceOne 5.0

Dialog SourceOne, Version 5.0, improves Dialog’s patent document delivery service. SourceOne now offers e-mail links to fulltext patents in PDF format. The PDF documents can be downloaded within minutes of placing an order. As always, patents ordered from SourceOne include all text, figures, graphics, and tables that appear in the original documents. The SourceOne order interface is available through DialogClassic, DialogClassic Web, and DialogWeb command mode. The availability of PDF fulltext patents replaces the cumbersome page-by-page TIFF e-mail delivery previously available.

In addition to PDF downloads, SourceOne 5.0 reintroduces the "review order" command, allowing patent orders to be reviewed and changed before the order is placed. Finally, upgrades to the service ensure faster and more robust processing of orders. For more information on SourceOne, enter HELP SOURCE1 when on Dialog.

Dialog’s extensive science, technical, business, and intellectual property content allows Dialog to offer a full range of supplementary information, adding value to patents retrieved. This comprehensive collection of information enables businesses to manage their intellectual property more efficiently, as well as support competitive activity, such as tracking competitors’ R&D efforts.
