Innovative companies need reliable information for
business critical decisions - STN has it!
STN is an online database service
providing THE key information
resources critical for determining
• patentability
• freedom-to-operate
• state-of-the-art
• infringement
• the legal status of patents
5
STN is a partnership of two not-for-profit organizations
providing access to the latest scientific discoveries
• Introduced in 1984
• Recognized leading online
resource for sci-tech & patent
information– Journal articles
– Patents
– Dissertations
– Conference Proceedings
– Chemical structures
– Sequences
– Properties
– Electronic full text
• Serves professional IP searchers

Function: proton pump inhibitor
Treatment: gastritis, heatburn

Comprehensiveness and precision –
a case study in the pharma field
Perform an FTO search: Do a comprehensive patent
search for the drug pantoprazole, and find the relevant
patents.
Typically aims to patents that are still ‘alive‘
consider potential markets/countries
Comprehensive search
- search in detail all aspects of the innovation
- check dependancy on generic patents
When is a freedom-to-operate search needed?
11
Risk assesment for infringing a patent for
new developments
Freedom-to-
operate
search
Goal: check for dependancy on external
property rights when using a certain technology
High quality databases complemented by first-level patent
databases provide the most efficient way of searching

What do you find in the value-added patent
databases for pantoprazole?
• Searching the CAS and Derwent chemical indexing and enhancedabstract leads to a highly relevant answer set with less than 1% falsedrops
preparations 20%
formulations: significant 49% less significant 16%
disease treatment 11%
• Each file provides unique answers for each patent category, e.g. unique patents for the synthesis of pantoprazole
• Enhanced titles and abstracts allow for efficient relevance checkingand analysis
14
What is unique to patent full-text files?
• 651 (1469) inventions* are uniquely retrieved searching the patent
full-text of major patent countries (total 1097 (2121) inventions)
– high percentage of non-relevant answers (>30 %)
– many additional formulation patents

Why search both value-add and first-level patent
databases?
Patent information users highly benefit from
• intellectually analyzed patent database content in CAplus and
Derwent WPI
– High relevance, high search precision and efficient relevance checking
– Key patents for pantoprazole only available from value-add
databases
– Worldwide coverage, excellent Asian coverage, and minor patent
countries
• fast access to all details of the patent claims and description in
patent full-text databases and INPADOCDB’s unrivalled patent
authority coverage
– some highly relevant answers are exclusively available from first-level
databases
– First level patent information on its own is not sufficient to
support business critical decisions
16
• Key patents for pantoprazole only available from value-add
databases
• First level patent information on its own is not sufficient to
support business critical decisions
Conclusion:
For all patent searches with high commercial relevance it is
essential to search all value-added patent databases and
complement the results with first level patent data
17
Why search both value-add and first-level patent
databases?
Who is using STN patent databases?
The world’s patent experts do!
18
• Major pharma, chemical, consumer goods, and technical
companies
– 14 of 30 DAX companies (Germany)
– 13 of 30 Dow Jones companies (US)
• Major patent offices
• Law Firms
• Information broker
Why patent experts rely on STN
“The quality of the information retrieved depends on the
quality of the database. In order to achieve and maintain a
high quality standard, thoroughly and efficiently edited data
of high quality are essential.
When using STN International, you can be sure that the
data have been edited by experts and processed using
reliable, state-of-the-art software systems.”Dr. Gerhard Fischer, Head of Patent Information,
Syngenta Crop Protection
