The word portal is often used for web sites that function as an entiy to a repo-sitoiy of information on almost any topic on the Internet. The following portal categories for chemical issues arc distinguished general chemistry sites substance information sites analytical chemistiy sites enviromnental chemistry sites toxicology and occupational health sites as well as patent seiwices [47],... 

The initial recording of research ideas and data is most always private and takes the form of laboratory notebooks and database files. The first communication of research data and ideas may or may not be private. Oral and informal written communication occurs between research colleagues and teams. In the era of e-mail and listserves, these initial written communications may also be public in that they exist on the Internet. If there is a financial or proprietary interest in the research, the first communication may be in the form of a patent application. 

The literature on these ring systems in the last 10 years is vast. An Internet search alone provides 3500 citations for sildenafil (60a, Viagra). Not only Viagra is of medical interest allopurinol (ALP) 61, the classical treatment of gout arthritis, is still of interest, and pyrazolopyridazines and thiazolopyridazines have also been shown to be of biological importance. These activities extend beyond an interest in the synthesis and chemistry of these compounds indicated by the large number of patented potential applications. 

The utilization of patent information is, of course, promoted by diverse patent authorities. The European Patent Office (http //www.european-patent-office.org/) provides a service called esp cenet, which is easily accessible via the Internet (http //ep.espacenet.com/). In addition, inventors might conduct online file inspections via a service called epoline, which can be reached at http //www.epoline.org/. The user gains direct access to all published European patent applications and patents stored in electronic form. Patent information services are also offered by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (http //www.uspto.gov/). 

Trademarks are used to protect names, brands, logos, and other marketing devices that are distinctive. Trademarks are somewhat more expensive. They generally can be filed for 750. It is also possible to do a trademark search on your own on the Internet through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Web site (www.uspto.gov). It is also possible to pay attorneys to do the search for you. 

If you find yourself in the position of needing to know any specific detail about patent law prosecution then the MPEP is indispensable. The MPEP online can be found at the following site in the USPTO Internet domain www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/mpep.htm. The MPEP is also available in paperback copy from the legal publishers West and Lexus-Nexus. 

The days of the hard copy encyclopaedias of chemical information are certainly numbered. Most of the important ones are now available in CD-ROM format. The data on these CD-ROM s can be conveniently searched, in the home, the office or the laboratory making a trip to the library unnecessary. The highly important databases of international patent information are also available in the same format and also on websites via the Internet. The searching of large databases, e.g. Chemical Abstracts, by inputting chemical structures has lessened the need for an expert to come between the researcher and this information. 

Patent Literature. The continuous study of the patent literature is a most important activity. It should be made the responsibility of one or more of the R D staff who have an intimate knowledge of a particular area. The availability of computer generated profiles, down loading of data from on fine access via the internet and CD-ROM archives make this a much easier task than in former years. If an informa-... 

Each patent is explained in one or two sentences and is completed by the most important illustrations. The illustrations of the screw geometries are clearer than lengthy descriptions of the geometries. Nevertheless, readers should analyze and evaluate the claims in the original patent documents thoroughly because much depends on the specific tasks or questions at hand. The list of patents makes no claims to be exhaustive. Even the most carefully planned patent researches may (unfortunately) overlook the odd patents. Complete documents of all cited patents can be obtained free of charge from the Internet site www.depatisnet.de. 

Your orientation on the problem area may include reading Internet, folders, articles, parts of books, patents. .. 

The desk top computer, via the Internet and such US compilations as delphion.com, or the various national patent office compilations, notably www.patent.gov.uk/, esp cenet and www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html/, provides access to patents, greatly aided in the author s case by the British Library paper and electronic systems. Patents provide useful literature references and access to the inventors basic thinking, right or wrong Patents, the author has found, are full of mistakes, inconsistencies and contradictions, which enable the reader to learn by comparison, and to sort out the quintessential information. See Appendix C, for an elementary patent search technique via the US Patent Office. 

The Regenesys patents above were explored on the Internet using the Intellectual Property Network, and with the search words National Power and Ralph Zito as obtained verbally at a Grove Symposium. 

The internet has played a major role in finding the articles and patents that were required to put this account together. The NIH-based website PubChem was an essential resource for finding structures of compounds that appear in this book hits more often than not include CAS Registry Numbers. References to papers on the synthesis of compounds could sometimes be found with the other NIH source PubMed. The ubiquitous Google was also quite helpful for finding sources for syntheses. In some... 

The Industrial Property Digital Library of the Japanese Patent Office (JPO s IPDL http //www. ipdl.inpit.go.jp/homepg e.ipdl) provides access to Japanese patent document in Japanese text. However, for non-Japanese readers, instantaneous machine translations from Japanese to English of the full documents are available over the Internet from 1974 onwards. English abstracts are also available for recent patents. 

Preparation and transfer of queries for CAS database searches and capture of hits image display Internet connection to STN. Internet address stnc.cas.org (134,243.5.32). STN provides on-line access to many databases with chemical, physical, thermodynamic, toxicological, pharmaceutical, biomedical, and patent data. 12th Collective Index of Chemical Abstracts on CD-ROM. PCs and Macintosh.

An extensive product review of recent NIR technology was published by Noble. Enormous progress has been achieved in chemometrics and computing power, making many new applications possible. There are dozens of manufacturers of NIR spectrophotometers in the United States. There are many vendors of sampling components and software packages for data analysis. Research data of the most recent instrumentation and software are available directly on the World Wide Web, as most manufacturers maintain a Web site. There are numerous Internet sites that provide links to professional spectroscopy societies, publishers of spectroscopy journals, and patents related to pharmaceutical uses of NIR. 

There are further resources available for English translations of Japanese patent documents. Paterra, Inc., (http // www.paterra.com) is pleased to present the InstantM D service for Japanese patents on the internet. The InstantM D service retrieves the requested patent by number and rapidly provides a translated version which is rendered for download in a two-column formatted Acrobat PDF file. The system covers all Japanese Kokai (A documents) published after January 1, 1993 and aU granted Japanese patents (Toroku) published since May 27, 1996. New documents are entered into the system within 2 weeks of being published in Japan, hi a related development, Protys (http //www.protys.info/) provides a full text Enghsh database of the latest Japanese patents in a specialty current awareness database.
