Q: |
When conducting a search for patent information I type in the patent code as seen in another database but I get no hits even though I am sure that this compound appears in Pharmaceutical Substances. Why? |
A: |
In order to search the patent references contained in Pharmaceutical Substances the patent number has to be entered in a specific format. In Pharmaceutical Substances each patent reference is entered in three digit groups separated by a space. See below:
So if you have a five-digit code enter the first three numbers, then add a space, and then enter the final two numbers.
