With the Register Links option, you can access direct links to register entries for national or regional patent authorities. Available in STNext databases that contain patents, the Register Links option appears in the patent number drop-down menu of publication and application numbers..
Selecting Register Links opens a submenu with a Register link.

These include CAPLUS, the STN patent databases, INPADOCDB and INPAFAMDB, the DWPI databases, all STN patent full-text databases, but also all other databases that contain patent application and publication information, such as GENESEQ, USGENE or IFIALL.
