CA/CAplus enhanced with legal status information for U.S. patents

Legal status information for patents from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) back to 1980 has been added to the CA/CAplus family of databases. The information is available in records for:

  • U.S. patents
  • Non-U.S. patents that have a U.S. patent equivalent

A new Legal Status U.S. Patent (LSUS) display format includes information on all assignment and reassignment events:

  • Reassignment Date (RAD)
  • Reassignment Update Date (RAUP)
  • Reassignment Kind (RAK)
  • Patent Assignee, Original (PAO)
  • Reassignment Execution Date (RAXD)
  • Reassignment Company (RAC)
  • Reassignment Agent (RAA)
  • Microfilm Reel Number of the document at the USPTO (MRN)
  • Microfilm Frame Number of the document at the USPTO (MFN)

Display formats that include Patent Information (PI) and Priority Application Information (PRAI) now include a message that indicates when the new legal status information is available for display.

COMPENDEX indexing changed for the Corporate Source (CS) field

In Computerized Engineering Index and Ei Engineering Meetings (Ei COMPENDEX), the Corporate Source (CS) field has been re-indexed. Author names have been removed so that only company names are available for search and select in the CS field. The display has not been changed; author names still display along with their associated corporate sources.

To search for author names and their associated corporate sources in the CS field, use the (P) operator:

=> S TELLE?/AU(P)RWTH AACHEN/CS

For more information about COMPENDEX, refer to the STN Database Summary Sheet.
