Hello again Jeff,
In your field we're scanning and researching UK A0s intensively, and you can
see our (speculative) conclusions each week for free in the "Highlights"
section, on the front page of our Gazette (which you've already reviewed):
http://www.current-patents.com/news/index.htm
When appropriate, the intelligence gathered thus is fed through into our
DOLPHIN database. The regular A0 countries are well documented, but in our
field (pharma/biotech) I'd like to highlight India in particular, as a
source of such information, as it quite frequently makes explicit early
mention of "new" generic drugs.
My view (unlike some others expressed) is that there is some very useful
intelligence to be found in this source, but that it frequently needs
ingenious research to draw it out. The first formal mention of new
commercial entities is often to be found in A0 listings, as Google hits from
the UK's PDJ regularly indicate.
Best wishes

Is anyone aware of a database which publishes the titles of filed
applications BEFORE the 18-month publication date?
Thank you.
