Database Description

U.S. Patents Fulltext, produced by Dialog, provides access to the complete text of all patents issued (in electronic form) by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) from 1971 to 1975.

Each record contains all front-page information, including title, author(s), assignee(s), related applications, classification data, cited references, and abstract. The complete text of the original patent usually includes a description of drawings (but not the actual drawings), the background/field of invention, a brief summary of the invention, the detailed description/embodiment of the invention, examples, and all claims.

Additional post-issuance legal status information is supplied by IFI/Plenum Data Corporation for patents that have been reassigned, reexamined, granted an extension beyond the normal 17/20-year period, expired prior to the normal 17/20-year period, or reinstated after late payment of the maintenance fee.



Subject Coverage
