Derwent's Chemical Indexing (BCE Fragmentation Codes and the Derwent
Chemistry Resource)
Derwent has created powerful indexing systems to help you find patents
on chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals, with
particular structures, modifications, preparation, properties, and uses.
Searching by indexing routinely retrieves relevant patents not otherwise
retrievable. This course will teach you what the indexing covers and how to
use it. You will learn to find chemical patents quickly, efficiently, and
cost-effectively.
What we will cover:
- what patents are covered
- what parts of a patent are covered
- searching chemical structures
- software aids (TOPFRAG and STN Express) and documentation
- searching chemical processes
- searching formulations
- searching uses for given chemicals
