By "open ended" do you mean "subjective" -or- "leads to complicated
explanations which exceed the scope of the original question" -or-
"better dealt with after having paid the $1400 PERI registration fee"?
Perhaps someone in-channel might consider answering the following
variants of Ms.Blaine's questions in this forum:
1. What is the objective, quantitative overlap between Marpat, MMS and
STN-Registry (for the purposes of structure/sub-structure searching).
2. What would be the implications of performing a structure search in
only one of these databases?
3. What are your subjective opinions as to which databases constitute
the vanguard products for performing chemical structure searches for
returning both patent and literature references? Why?
4. To the extent that the available online databe products are not
isomporphic nor coextensive, would anyone agree that a search involving
significant financial exposure for the client (i.e., an infringement or
freedom-to-operate search pursuant to a prospective $25E6 licensing
agreement) would require a thorough search of every available
resource? If not, why not?
5. Would anybody here rely only on the STN databases for performing the
electronic component of their chemical patent search (structural or
otherwise)? If so, why?
