Title | Presenter | Event description |
e-seminar | B. Larner | In this Thomson Reuters and STN session we’ll show you how to learn efficiently search for chemical structures in the Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI) on STN using STN Express. It will be both a refresher/update for experts, and a useful introduction for those who are less familiar with the capabilities of DWPI on STN. The session will cover two specific types of DWPI chemical structure searching:
Get practical tips and tricks for both forms of searching, along with some advice on how to combine DWPI results with answers found using CAS Registry and CAplus databases on STN. We will also show you how to further focus your result set by linking the structures to their role in the invention (for example method of producing the compound or component of a composition), their pharmaceutical/agrochemical activities, or the area of technology they are being used in. Running time: 65 minutes |
e-seminar | B. Larner | In this joint Thomson Reuters and STN session we will give a brief introduction to the new CPC scheme and how it may affect your searches in Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI) on STN. We will explain how this new classification system is being implemented on STN, and provide search examples highlighting features and benefits for DWPI searching, including tips on how to use the new STN CPC thesaurus. Running time: 46 minutes |
e-seminar | B. Larner | This e-seminar is an in-depth review of the value and techniques of searching numeric properties in the Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI) on STN. This session is an overview of the value-add abstracting process, and various practical examples for searching numeric properties in DWPI on STN. It will be of interest to novice, intermediate, and expert DWPI searchers, offering practical advice and search tips for all levels of experience. Running time: 58 minutes |
R. Austin | The Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) is a new patent classification system jointly developed and maintained by the European Patent Office (EPO) and the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This bilateral classification system entered into force on January 1, 2013 and replaced the European patent classifications (ECLA and ICO) and will eventually replace the US Patent classification system. CPC is being implemented in several STN databases, including INPADOC, DWPI and CAplus. In this e-Seminar, you will learn about:
Running time: 39 minutes | |
R. Austin | The ProQuest Science & Technology (PQSciTech) database is a large and diverse resource representing all areas of science and technology, from Aerospace to Zoology. PQSciTech provides bibliographic details, abstracts and controlled term indexing covering a wide variety of scientific journals, patents, books, reports, and conference proceedings. The database encompasses the content of 25 former Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (CSA) databases, in a single, streamlined, multi-disciplinary database. In addition to the content of PQSciTech, this session will cover:
This session will be of interest to both novice and experienced searchers, who would like to learn more about this new and comprehensive resource on STN. Running time: 41 minutes | |
e-seminar | R. Austin | ReaxysFile on STN was recently reloaded adding information on several million substances including inorganic substances, and substances indexed from patents. Now the database has the same content as Reaxys. Enhancements include additional fields and formats for displaying patent content or data for meeting the REACH requirements. This e-Seminar will give an overview on the database, the new content and new features. Tips on how to easily find the information you need, and how to make the most of the new patent coverage, will be of interest to new and experienced users of ReaxysFile on STN.

R. Austin | ReaxysFile on STN was recently reloaded adding information on several million substances including inorganic substances, and substances indexed from patents. Now the database has the same content as Reaxys. ReaxysFile is an invaluable prior art database that offers a diverse collection of pharmacological, ecological, chemical reaction, and physical property data dating back to 1771. In this session, we will provide practical tips for conducting a variety of physical property searches in ReaxysFile, including how to:
The session will be of value to all intermediate, expert, and aspiring STN physical property searchers. ReaxysFile and the Reaxys trademark are owned and protected by Reed Elsevier Properties SA. All rights reserved. Running time: 55 minutes | |
R. Austin | ReaxysFile on STN was recently reloaded adding information on several million substances including inorganic substances, and substances indexed from patents. Now the database has the same content as Reaxys. ReaxysFile contains one of the largest collections of organic reactions worldwide, which makes it a valuable source for process and method prior art. In this session, you will learn about:

e-seminar | B. Larner | When searching patent information everyone worries if they have missed anything important. So wouldn’t it be great if you could take advantage of the work carried out by patent examiners and/or assignees to identify relevant documents to a patent application? Patent citation information lets you do just that. The Derwent Patent Citation Index (DPCI) on STN contains family based citation information which allows you to identify all the forward and backwards citations related to a particular Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI) family. What’s more the file uses the same accession numbers as DWPI on STN making it easy to transfer data between the two databases. In this talk we will explain how to get the most out of this valuable companion database to DWPI. Running time: 56 minutes |
e-Seminar | R. Austin | RNA interference (RNAi) is a system within cells that takes part in controlling which genes are active and how active they are. Two types of small RNA molecules, Micro RNA (miRNA) and Small Interfering RNA (siRNA), are central to RNAi. This e-Seminar will:
This session will be of interest to novice and expert STN patent sequence searchers. Prior attendance or familiarity with the Sequence Basics and Multifile patent sequence searching e-Seminars is highly recommended (Recorded Events for both are available). Running time: 61 minutes |
B. Larner | We’ll show you in this Thomson Reuters and STN webinar how to set up alerts in DWPI and DPCI on STN so you can monitor competitor and industry patent activity, easily and efficiently. Plus, you’ll gain insight how DWPI and DPCI records can evolve over time and which search options give you exactly the information you need. Get insights you would otherwise miss and make more confident decisions by setting up alerts using the authoritative and accurate patent data in DWPI and DPCI. And if you need more assistance with alerts after the webinar, we will offer a personalized session to those that attend. This session will be of interest to novice, intermediate, and expert DWPI searchers, offering practical advice and search tips for all levels of experience. | |
J. Brown | STN is the only database vendor that has these three patent-family, value-added databases on one platform. Search examples will demonstrate the unique content and advantages of CAplus, DWPI and INPAFAMDB. The TRANSFER and DUPLICATE commands will be explained and used to broaden and/or narrow the search results and to combine the most relevant answer sets. | |
e-Seminar | D. Walter, Ph.D. | Join us for an in-depth review of the value and techniques of searching Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI) Manual Codes on STN. This joint event from Thomson Reuters and FIZ Karlsruhe, will include an overview of the indexing and assignment of Manual Codes, and various practical search examples demonstrating their use within DWPI on STN. This session will be of interest to novice, intermediate, and expert DWPI searchers, offering practical advice and search tips for levels of experience. |
