Language Interface, Database and Feature Improvements to WIPO Pearl

March 30, 2017

A range of improvements have just been made to WIPO Pearl, including new interface languages, more terms in the terminology database, and a new feature added to Concept Path Search which allows a combined keyword search to be performed in PATENTSCOPE.

Interface

The WIPO Pearl interface is now available also in German and Korean, in addition to Chinese, French, English, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Users can select their language preference at the top right of the screen. An Arabic version is under development.

Improved database

In addition, the terminology database has been updated with 6,000 new terms and 500 new concept relations. The database now contains over 133,000 patent terms and 18,000 patent concepts, all validated by WIPO-PCT language experts.

13,000 concepts (or 70%) are linked to other concepts in the database, and these relationships can be browsed in our Concept Map Search.

Concept Path Search – Combined keyword search

Concept Path Search is a feature in Concept Map Search which allows users to find the path between two concepts, showing all the related concepts in between. An enhancement to Concept Path Search has been added in this release which allows either all or some terms found in a concept path, and their synonyms too if desired, to be sent directly to PATENTSCOPE for use in a combined keyword search. This allows documents to be retrieved from PATENTSCOPE in a highly targeted manner.

Collaboration with universities

This release includes 60 multilingual terminology records in the field of telehealth that were provided by students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA, following our validation. We invite universities who are interested in a terminology collaboration of this kind to contact us.
