RecordContent• Bibliographic and family data of patent documents, utility models, and design patentsof 106 patent-issuing organizations including the European Patent Office (EPO) andthe World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
• Legal status data of 100 patent-issuing organizations (56 countries + from 44 countriesof the national phases PCT/EP). Two classification systems for over 4,300 legal eventcodes are available; see HELP LEGSTAT for details.
• Indexes are based on the patent application, where in INPAFAMDB the indexes are
based on the patent families. The accession number AN in INPADOCDB is the
document number DN from INPAFAMDB.
• Abstracts are provided for more than 84 million records with more than 78 million
abstracts in English.
• Patent status indicators are provided for all patent authorities; see HELP STI for
details.
• Calculated expiration dates are provided for granted IP rights for all patent authorities
except WO and ID. See HELP XPD for details.
• EP unitary patents are searchable in bibliographic and legal status search fields.
See HELP UNITARYPATENT for details.
• Note: The accession number can change due to corrections/updates of patent relevant
numbers and codes.

INPADOCDBDISPLAY and PRINT Formats
Any combination of formats may be used to display or print answers. Multiple codes must be separated by
spaces or commas, e.g., D L1 1-5 TI PI. The fields are displayed or printed in the order requested.
Most custom display fields provide the deduplicated content of all publications of a record (national family),e.g., D PI displays all publication numbers.
For TI, IN, INS, PA, and PAS the qualifier .M has to be used to display the content for all publications of arecord. For the other custom display fields the use of the qualifier .M is not valid.
Hit-term highlighting is available for all fields. Highlighting must be ON during SEARCH to use the HIT, KWIC,
and OCC formats.
