Patent Terminology

Patent Definition• A patent is an agreement between an inventor and a country.

The agreement permits the owner to exclude others from making, using or selling the claimed invention.

3

The Patenting Process• An inventor or organization (the patent assignee) files a

patent application in each country in which patent protection is sought. Each country’s patent office puts the application through an examination process to determine if the invention meets that country’s criteria for a patent. For example, in the U.S., a patent must represent an invention that is (1) novel, (2) non-obvious, and (3) has utility.

Patent Terminology

4

If the invention disclosed in the application meets the country’s criteria for a patent, the patent is granted and the inventor has patent protection in that country.

Patent Terminology

5

Patent Applications

• In each patent office in which an application is filed, an Application Number and an Application Date are assigned to the document.

• The first filing application is considered the Priority Application and the date of this application is the Priority Application Date.

Application = Deposito

6

Filing Conventions

The Paris Convention for the Protection of Intellectual Property directs that Subsequent filings must be made within

one year (6 months for design patents), to seek protection to the Priority Application Date

Subsequent filings will include the Priority Application Number and Date, in addition to the new filing Application Number and Date

The earliest publication (generally a published application) for public inspection will be 18 months from the priority filing

7

Filing Conventions

8

Publishing Countries

9

• Slow-publishing countries publish only the granted patent approximately 24 months or more after the priority application is filed.

• Examples: Austria Israel Switzerland

Publishing Countries

10

Patent Families

• All of the published patent applications from various countries and the subsequently granted patents on an invention are commonly referred to as patent equivalents.

• Bear in mind, they are not true equivalents. Each patent issuing authority may have different regulations for filing, and a different interpretation of the invention.

11

Closely-Related Members

• A group of patent equivalents make up a patent family. Members of a closely-related patent family have a common priority application number and date.

• These family members are usually included in a single record in the online database.

Closely-Related Members

13

Extended Members

• Extended patent family members typically result from complex relationships (such as multiple, yet at least one common, priority applications from different countries or relationships resulting from divisions, continuations, or continuations-in-part): Division - Results when a patent office decides

that an application's claims are too broad for a single patent and splits the application into divisional applications, each claiming a different invention

Patent Families

14

Continuation - Results from a second or subsequent application being filed while the original application is pending

Continuation-in-Part (CIP) - Results from a second or subsequent application being filed, which includes new material, while the original application is pending

• A database producer may create additional records to capture any new information that may be reported in these family members.

Patent Families

15

• Example of a patent family with an extended memberThis example shows how a Continuation-in-Part of the priority applica-tion creates an extended patent family member.

STN has search tools and display formats for identifying both closely-related and extended patent family members.

The 'Basic Patent'

• The Basic Patent is typically the first family member identified for abstracting and indexing into a database.

• This term has no legal meaning; the basic for one database producer may not be the basic for another producer.

nnnnn = 1-8 digit number without spaces or punctuation (this is a variable length number; leading zeros are optional)

Countries that restart the numbering each year, including JP since 2000

CCYYYYNNNNNN/PN CC = ISO country code

YYYY = the publication year

NNNNNN = exactly 6 digits without spaces or punctuation (if necessary, add leading zeros to make a total of 6 digits)

Japan, prior to 2000, which restarted published application numbering each year

JPEENNNNNN/PN JP = ISO country code for Japan

EE = last 2 digits of the Japanese Emperor year

Japanese Emperor Year

• The Year of the Emperor, or Imperial Year, starts at 1 when a new emperor ascends the throne. – In 1926 the Imperial year was set to 1 on the occasion of

Hirohito becoming emperor. – The Imperial year was again set to 1 in 1989 when

Akihito, his son, arose to the throne.

Application numbers may start over every year or after a 'series' of so many have been used.

• The series number may be listed at the end of an application number (e.g., 7 in the US filing application number 123456/7).• Check digit numbers may also appear with an application number (e.g., 5 in the EP filing application number 97304484.5).

As a general rule, a one- or two-digit number separated by punctuation is either a series number or a check digit number and is NOT included in the STN application number formatNOT included in the STN application number format

To identify likely English language equivalent publications, scan a list of family members for countries that typically publish in English:

AU Australia If a PCT designates AU, thelanguage will be that of the WO,not necessarily English

CA Canada There are some French Canadianpublications

EP European Patent Office Approximately 60% of published applications are in English

GB Great BritainUS United StatesWO WIPO May be in one of seven languages,

English being the predominant

145

For patent issuing organizations that may issue patents in different languages, such as the EPO or WIPO, follow these guidelines:

If the record is from Then, look for

WPINDEX EN in the language column

CAplus English in the LA field (if theEP or WO is the basic patent)

To locate all of the extended family members of PN DE4142104, it is advisable to continue the search in the WPINDEX file.

The WPINDEX file covers different countries and patents than (H)CAplus, and the list of patent publication numbers may be different from that of CAplus. note: An FSEARCH is recommended if a Cross

• Positive events towards other stages– Request for search report

• Negative events that block the patent – Failure to pay fees– Opposition

Searching Legal Status Information

• Find legal status information by– Patent number– Legal status events

• Publication stages most common search– Initial publication of an unexamined application

(18 months after priority filing)– Publication of the granted patent– Slow-publishing include only granted patent

Legal Status

188

Stages of Publication

• Additional stages possible • Listed in the Patent Information (PI) field by patent

kind codes • Use HELP KIND for complete list • For European patent:

– Application without search report (Kind Code A2) – Examined accepted specification (Kind Code A3)– Examined patent publications (Kind Code B1)

Legal Status

189

Determining Current Status for U.S.

• Until March 15, 2001, U.S was slow-publishing with only granted patent

• Now two common stages available in– PI field of patent family files– CAplus, WPINDEX, USPATFULL

Legal Status

Status in Full-Text Files

• Two full-text U.S. patent files are available:– USPATFULL with earliest publication – USPAT2 with most current publication

• Both include bibliographic information and CA indexing

• Extended displays show both publications • The USPATALL cluster allows simultaneous

searching of the full-text from both files
