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 comprised of mainly front-page or bibliographic data only. As such, it is not compatible with conceptual searching, and should only be searched using Boolean filters. Full text documents and images 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.
