Copyright 2004 Thomson SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS Patent Literature: Of course – an essential source of Technology In Addition – a wealth of valuable Scientific Information Along with journals and conference proceedings, patents should be considered a fundamental component of the world’s body of published scientific literature.

Copyright 2004 Thomson SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS Patents: Importance as a Scientific Resource Patent literature is the largest single body of technical information available anywhere. There are over 30 million existing published patents in the world today, and each year an average of one million new patents are filed. A patent gives full disclosure of all details of an invention: descriptions, drawings, diagrams, chemical structures, genetic sequences, etc. A patent is often the first place scientific and technical information is reported – key Current Awareness Value A great volume of the information reported in patents is unavailable elsewhere. Information within the patent literature should not be overlooked in the course of the research process.

Copyright 2004 Thomson SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS The Derwent Innovations Index sm provides the researcher, the end-user, with access to patent literature from the desktop. This resource is presented within the Web of Knowledge platform, therefore enabling great ease-of-use for those that have little expertise with regard to patent literature.

Copyright 2004 Thomson SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS Two Derwent databases combined to provide a unique resource: Derwent World Patents Index Derwent Patents Citation Index This combination of data provides a comprehensive overview of an invention, with links to cited and citing patents as well links to cited journal literature within the Web of Science.

Copyright 2004 Thomson SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS Derwent Innovations Index is: The world of patents at your fingertips, in a resource designed to be easy-to-use, made available to an entire university, company, or agency. –13.5 million inventions accounting for 23 million patents –Coverage of 40 world patent-issuing authorities –Coverage depth back to 1966, updated weekly 100% Japanese coverage from 1996 –Over 20,000 patent records added each week –Provides both general key-term and cited patent searching –Cross-searchable with other Web of Knowledge resources, such as Web of Science – enabling one to search against patent, journal, and conference literature simultaneously.

Copyright 2004 Thomson SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS Derwent Innovations Index: Three “Sections” of the database are presented: Chemical Electrical and Electronic Engineering These sections together are “comprehensive in scope”, providing coverage of all realms of technology – Electronics, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology Chemicals, Plastics and Polymers Medical Devices and Applications Agricultural and Veterinary Medicine Etc…
