It is an ideal first step for users moving from print to electronic formats of information. From July 2000, the PDFs of Derwent TMPs have a new improved format. The new style Profiles contain exactly the same information as the printed and previous pdf-style titles and are delivered to the same schedule, at no extra cost.
User can, optionally, include pages of information created by themselves.
For example, users can include a Contact Details page containing the Derwent search strategy and the contact details of the person responsible for maintaining the strategy. There is a hypertext Title Index enabling users to jump directly from the title list to the required abstracts. Abstracts are viewed on screen with the popular Derwent Industry and Technology Patents Profiles -style record layout. There is a hypertext Patent Assignee Index enabling users to jump directly from the assignee list to the required abstracts. PDFs are viewed using the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
