Stu- Are the CA patent applications (PCT transfers) you mention
that are included in the DERWENT file actually published? If not, are
they of any added value in the patent family until they are actually
published? There are some PCT transfers thet never make it to grant.

I realize as you point out it should be a standard thing; the
database is either including them or is not. We should at least have
a listing of the dates that they were included.
