File Description [top]

Business Wire contains the full text of news releases issued by approximately 10,000 corporations, universities, research institutes, hospitals, and other organizations. The file primarily covers U.S. industries and organizations, although some information on international events is included. Records in Business Wire vary in length, but typically contain fewer than 500 words. News releases received by Business Wire are available in the Business Wire database the same day. Business Wire is available on the DIALOG First ReleaseSM service (updated continuously throughout the day).


Business Wire is contained in two databases: Files 610 and 810. File 610 contains current data beginning in March 1999. File 810 contains archive data spanning from 1986 through February 1999. OneSearch/DIALINDEX category BUSWIRE may be used to begin both files simultaneously; i.e., BEGIN BUSWIRE.

    Agreement Delivers on Customer Needs for Seamless Voice and Data 
    Services on a Global Basis Extends MCI WorldCom's On-Net Global 
    Services throughout North America 
     
  /TX  Bell Canada and MCI WorldCom announced today that they have joined 
    forces to provide seamless North American and global voice and data 
    services to customers. Through this alliance, Canadian businesses will 
    benefit from one North American contract, a single point of contact, 
    and competitive pricing on MCI WorldCom's On-Net global services, the 
    telecom industry's most extensive portfolio of integrated products and 
    services. 
     
    Terry Jarman, president and CEO of Bell Nexxia, said "It is critical 
    for Bell Canada to continue to develop North American and global 
    capabilities. This strategic marketing alliance with MCI WorldCom 
    allows us to meet our customers' needs in the areas of voice and data 
    services. As with other major communications companies in Canada and 
    the United States, we increasingly view North America as a single 
    marketplace." 
     
    The new agreement builds on a relationship dating back to 1992. It 
    combines the benefits of MCI WorldCom's On-Net - the industry's first 
    single, high-capacity, end-to-end network - with Bell Canada's reach 
    and expertise as Canada's leading communications provider. Through this 
    new alliance - which will replace the existing arrangements between MCI 
    WorldCom and Stentor - Bell Canada will be the exclusive provider in 
    Canada of MCI WorldCom's On-Net. This will give Bell Canada's customers 
    access to MCI WorldCom's seamless network, linking major commercial 
    (...) 
    MCI WorldCom is a global communications company with revenue of more 
    than $30 billion and established operations in over 65 countries 
    encompassing the Americas, Europe and the Asia-Pacific regions. MCI 
    WorldCom is a premier provider of facilities-based and fully integrated 
    local, long distance, international and Internet services. MCI 
    WorldCom's global networks, including its state-of-the-art pan-European 
    network and transoceanic cable systems, provide end-to-end 
    high-capacity connectivity to more than 40,000 buildings worldwide. For

        nicotine patch patent

  DL=,/TX         MADISON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Schering-Plough Corporation 
     Tuesday issued a sharp rebuttal to statements by Elan Corporation 
     disputing the legitimacy of Schering's nicotine patch patent. 
         After examining statements made by Elan in a March 23 press 
     release, the company said it was fully satisfied that its patent 
     (U.S. Patent No. 4,908,213) reflected novel art and technology. 
     Contrary to Elan's assertions, there can be no infringement of a 
     U.S. patent application, only of an issued patent.  Elan issued 
     its press release following a March 17, 1990, article in The New 
     York Times on Schering's patent. 
         The company obtained its patent on March 13, 1990, for a 
     transdermal nicotine patch designed to reduce tobacco craving by 
     dispensing nicotine in a controlled dose over 24 hours.  The patch 
     has several advantages over orally administered nicotine products, 
     including a superior controlled release of nicotine into the 
     bloodstream and the avoidance of mouth and gum irritation, which 
     nicotine gums can cause. 
         Addressing Elan's statements, the company took strong issue 
     with    Elan's claim that Schering had failed to cite relevant 
     prior artin its patent application, specifically Elan's inter- 
     national patent application on transdermal nicotine delivery. 
     Schering-Plough said that it did, indeed, cite relevant prior 
     art in its filing and that the patent examiner offered additional 
     references during the prosecution. 
         The company maintains that Elan's published patent applications 
     are no more relevant to the invention than the totality of art 
     cited at the time Schering's application was prosecuted.  Thus, 
     Schering contends, Elan's statements were not only premature 
     since they were made before Elan had access to Schering's file 
     history (and, therefore, could not know what transpired in the 
     Patent Office), but were also "off base" in imputing any 
     irregularity to the company's filing. 
    (...) 
         Schering-Plough is a research-based company engaged primarily 
     in the discovery, development, manufacturing and marketing of 
     pharmaceutical and health care products worldwide.
