Dialog Intellectual Property Collection Continues to Grow

Dialog continues to enhance its comprehensive intellectual property collection with the additions of Mexican trademarks and Indian patents.

Mexican Trademarks Join the Dialog Trademark Collection

TRADEMARKSCAN®—Mexico (File 668) has been added to the family of trademark databases on Dialog. North America trademark coverage now includes all major countries—the United States, Canada and Mexico. The database contains approximately 500,000 trademark applications and registrations and will continue to grow.

The new Mexican trademark file, provided by Thomson CompuMark and covering 1976 to the present, is similar in design to other Dialog trademark files, so you can search the file individually or using OneSearch categories (NATMKS, TMKAMER or TMKS). The Goods and Services (/GS) field is fully searchable in both English and Spanish. Images are also available in this file.

Use Dialog trademark databases to screen a new mark, conduct due diligence or review a trademark portfolio for maintenance and infringement. Search trademarks using words in the mark or the powerful Rotated Trademark index (TR=). Locate trademark owners, view images of the mark and see what trademarks are in the same class. Dialog indexing enables you to pinpoint your search to find meaningful results quickly.

India Patent Data Available in Derwent World Patents Index®

All Indian patent documents, both pre-grant applications and granted patents, issued since the new Indian patent laws came into force on December 4, 2004, will become available over the coming weeks in Derwent World Patents Index® (DWPI) (File 351).

Ongoing, you will be able to access documents within two weeks from publication in Derwent World Patents Index First View^SM (File 331) and within 4-6 weeks in DWPI.

The addition of Indian patent data means you can now access value-added patent information from 41 patent-issuing authorities—giving you more comprehensive coverage of worldwide patents than ever before.
