NOTES:
Viewable Documents are earlier or later referenced versions of searchable patent documents, and where they occur, are linked from the searchable document.
WIPO: Full text for JP, KR, CN and RU are not available on the WIPO collection.
Japan: The Japanese data collection is being reprocessed between January 1 and January 31, 2006 to include significantly expanded searchable content. During this time, access to the 11+ milion documents may be interrupted. Japanese Japanese documents are available in English translated bibliographies / abstracts. Full text documents are not available. Concept-based Semetric™ search limited to documents containing English abstracts. All Japanese documents are searchable with our traditional Boolean engine.
Canada: Canadian documents are available in English translated bibliographies / abstracts. Full text documents are not available.
Great Britain: GB issued some documents with references to a priority PCT application rather than duplicating the full text contained in the PCT.
