Workshop Description

A key strength of BizInt Smart Charts for Patents is the ability to go "beyond record boundaries" to create reports combining information from different patent sources.

This workshop will focus on how you can use BizInt Smart Charts for Patents 3.3 to create combined reports and the additional capabilities coming in BizInt Smart Charts 4.0.

BizInt Smart Charts for Patents software tool automates the task of creating a tabular report (chart) from search results from STN, Questel, PatBase, MicroPatent, Delphion, Thomson Pharma, Prous, Minesoft and GenomeQuest. Version 3.3 features help you update reports and identify new and changed information, identify members of patent families across databases and hosts, and automatically generate links to full patents on PatBase, espacenet, Delphion and MicroPatent.

BizInt Smart Charts for Patents 4.0 will help you quickly generate a "reference row" combining information from different databases into a single row in your report. You can select between conflicting data elements or supplement patent data from one database with images, claims, or other unique data from other databases.

This workshop is for both current users of BizInt Smart Charts and others interested in new tools for efficient analysis and presentation of patent information.
