The patent full-text database DEFULL for patent applications from Germany has been reloaded and enhanced. Full text is now available for the complete file since the earliest publication year of 1877.
New features are:
Key Terms (field KT) to support efficient full-text searching and results evaluation
Numeric Property Search
Standardized and normalized patent assignee names
CPC Combination Sets (special indexing assigned by patent examiners to link major features of an invention)
New update date UPTX for updated full-text
Also, bibliographic information has been augmented with related application information, and original patent, application, and priority numbers.
More details are available with HELP KEY, HELP NPS, HELP CPC, and HELP PAN in the database.
The Database Summary Sheet (https://www.cas.org/sites/default/files/documents/defull.pdf) for DEFULL has been updated to reflect these changes.
