SEARCHING DERWENT'S POLYMER INDEXING
Derwent creates a powerful indexing system to help you find patents on
polymers with particular structures, modifications, preparation, properties
and uses. Searching by indexing routinely finds relevant patents that are
otherwise not retrievable. This course will teach you what the indexing
covers, and how to use it.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND; People who commonly need to find patents on
polymers for their technical information or legal information content and
either subscribe to Derwent's Polymer Indexing or are considering
subscribing to Derwent's Polymer Indexing. (For searching pharmaceuticals,
agricultural chemicals, industrial and other non-polymeric chemicals, call
1-
800-451-3451.)
HOW YOU WILL BENEFIT; Learn to find patents on polymers quickly,
efficiently, and cost-effectively.
WHAT WE WILL COVER;
- What patents are covered
- What parts of a patent are covered (more than is covered in an online
abstract!)
- Searching polymer structure
- Searching for polymer modification processes and modified polymers
- Catalysts for making monomers, polymers, additives, and polymer
modification
- Searching for polymer additives
- Plant and laboratory operations, and shaping and finishing of polymers
- Polymer forms and shapes
- Polymer properties
- Polymer uses
