Current Awareness in Patent Databases

A current-awareness alert (SDI) is a useful tool for the surveillance of specific research topics, competitors, inventors, patents, and legal status information.  In this session, we will review the searching skills needed to identify relevant information in a consistent and periodic manner and how to receive this information in the most efficient and useful format.

We will also discuss how certain SDI features and options available in CAplus, Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI), and DWPI First View can be used to retrieve comprehensive results, including:

·         Automatic and manual alerts

·         Multifile alerts and package alerts

·         Choosing the right update code

Licensing information is vital when trying to determine who is really using reported technology. Several databases on STN allow you to easily track licensing in multiple disciplines.

In this session, we will discuss:

·         Specialized search and display fields for licensing information

·         Comprehensive search methods for pharmaceutical licensing

·         Business cluster databases that include licensing announcements
