Online database details Russian inventions

Online on STN International, RUSSIAPAT database contains English language information on Russian patents since 1994 - about 300,000 documents are available.

FIZ Karlsruhe now offers access to Russian patent information in English language via STN International, the premier online service in science and technology.

The new online file RUSSIAPAT, produced by the Russian Agency for Patents and Trademarks (ROSPATENT), Federal Institute of Industrial Property (FIPS), Moscow, covers Russian patented inventions from 1994 to the present.

It currently contains about 300,000 records and about 245,000 images.

Titles and abstracts are in English, thus providing access to this valuable information also to those unfamiliar with Russian language and characters.

Besides titles and abstracts, RUSSIAPAT records contain the International Patent Classification (IPC) codes, and inventor, assignee and patent application information.

A new, unique feature is the possibility of accessing all drawings available from the full document, i e, the drawing from the first page, drawings from the drawing attachment, and embedded drawings from the complete text.

A special display field provides an indication of the number and size of all available drawings.

RUSSIAPAT is updated three times a month.

Automatic current-awareness alerts are also available: At each database update the system checks if any new answers have been added that match a user's saved search profile.

Where such matches are found, the answers are then forwarded to the user.

All information in RUSSIAPAT can be accessed through STN's powerful search functions.

Search terms may be entered individually, or logically concatenated in a combined search.

Only results matching all predefined criteria are retrieved.

Simultaneous left and right truncation (searches using the root of a word, with prefixes and/or suffixes substituted by question marks) is also possible.
