Key Terms are provided in a new search and display field (/KT) in patent full-text databases. Key Terms are assigned based on linguistic and statistical methods from all English text fields of patents. Use Key Terms to broaden search scope more precisely than Basic Index searches, to enhance retrieval of relevant results, and more efficiently evaluate search results.
Currently, Key Terms are available in AUPATFULL, CANPATFULL, FRFULL, GBFULL, INFULL, JPFULL, and PCTFULL. The feature will be included in additional patent full-text databases later this year.
For more details, enter HELP KEY at an arrow prompt when in one of the full-text databases listed above.
