Non-Patent Literature Now Available in PATENTSCOPE

March 2, 2021

The integration of non-patent literature (NPL) in PATENTSCOPE has now started with the open access (OA) content on Nature.com, a part of publisher Springer Nature, which includes content from some of the world’s leading multidisciplinary science journals. Over 54,000 documents (biblio and full-text) are now searchable in PATENTSCOPE.

A new button to include the NPL in the result list is now available in:

1. The advanced search and the Field Combination interfaces

2. The result list: the refine options is available upon clicking on Include NPL

NPL information integrated in the result list is ranked by relevance together with the patent documents that match the search performed. All the PATENTSCOPE search features are available to perform searches in the NPL in PATENTSCOPE, as well as WIPO Translate for the translation of the articles
