Technology patenting

INPADOC (International Patent Documentation Center) is the most comprehensive tttbliographic database of scientific and technological patent documents in the world. The stock encompasses more than 26 miUion patent documents, more than 59 miUion legal status data, and about 10 million patent famihes (January, 2003). The database contains more than 35 milhon patent citations from 71 patent-issuing organizations (European Patent Office, World Intellectual Property Organization (WlPO)) and is updated weekly with about 40 000 new citations. 

INPADOC is the most comprehensive bibliographic database of scientific and technological patent documents. 

Patents and trade secrets are protected by securing rights to ideas and the appHcation of ideas that have commercial worth. The grant of rights in patents and trade secrets is based on an appreciation of development, advancement, and invention that will stimulate innovation by advancing technology. Patents and trade secrets are two distinct mechanisms for protecting invention vis-a-vis the appHcation of ideas. Both are supported by the poHcies and laws of the United States. 

A useful classification of sensitizing dyes is the one adopted to describe patents in image technology. In Table 1, the Image Technology Patent Information System (ITPAIS), dye classes and representative patent citations from the ITPAIS file are Hsted as a function of significant dye class. From these citations it is clear that preferred sensitizers for silver haUdes are polymethine dyes (cyanine, merocyanine, etc), whereas other semiconductors have more evenly distributed citations. Zinc oxide, for example, is frequendy sensitized by xanthene dyes (qv) or triarylmethane dyes (see Triphenylmethane and related dyes) as well as cyanines and merocyanines (see Cyanine dyes). 

ITPAIS, the Image Technology Patent Information System was developed between 1975—1985 by Eastman Kodak Co., Agfa-Gevaert (Antwerp/Leverkusen), and Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., and encompasses selected patents and Hterature references related principally to the chemical aspects of image technology. Search terms used for this table were the same as in the previous edition, and the Derwent patent database was used for the search data presented here.

Vhile the majority of Maillard technology patents deal vith the production of meat-like flavors (1), it is appropriate to comment on the significance of "reaction flavor" patents. During the past 30 years, several hundred patents have been granted vorldvide for processes and reaction products based on non-enzymatic brovning technology. Less than 100 of these are included in Chemical Abstracts, since subsequent patents are listed in patent concordance. 

However, if there are so many scientific bases , are they fundamental Do the ideas of the majority of technological patents and know-how appear as a result of an Edisonian approach of trial and error and past art , or as a result of scientific prediction We believe the former predominates. Thus one can consider the modem level of PMs preparation resulting from art, where inspiration and luck are more important than fundamental knowledge. 

JURGEN FALBE is Executive Vice President of Ruhrchemie AG, Ober-hausen. He received his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Bonn in 1959. His responsibilities include research and development, engineering and application technologies, patents, licensing, documentation, and environmental affairs.

Description The SUPERFLEX process is a proprietary technology patented by ARCO Chemical Tech nology, Inc. (now Lyondell Chemical Co.), and is exclusively offered for license by Kellogg Brown Root. It uses a fluidized catalytic reactor system with a proprietary catalyst to convert low-value feedstocks to desirable propylene and ethylene products. The catalyst is very robust thus, no feed pretreatment is required for typical contaminants such as sulfur, water, oxygenates or nitrogen. Attractive feedstocks include C4 and CB...

Some recent articles (49-55) have reviewed the field of combinatorial technologies patenting. Any combinatorial scientist must know that current and future intellectual property is going to be influenced by technological breakthroughs and by the increase in popularity of combinatorial technologies in many other fields of application. 

More than elsewhere, in the field of recombinant DNA technology, patent legislation has been abused to divert the gains accruing from public investments (into the academic sector) into private pockets, and we all are paying the price for it. 1 wonder why Jack Layton has not seized on this cause yet.

Removal of endophytes from the host plant for later reinfection has been the most widely used commercial approach because of the ability to capitalize on already successful cultivars and to handle the endophyte as a patentable technology. Patenting allows for the most successful commercialization because profit... 

The technology patented by Riello [3] and shown in Figure 25.1a provides for the production of a mat on a two-layer flat loom. This technique allows low production costs and a product that, once made, has a cylindrical shape. In this way it can be fitted onto the supporting cylinder and does not need the longitudinal welding many other products on the market have. 

The first attempt to integrate the chemical system with the external literature took the form of an Information Imaging Technology Patent Information System, ITPAIS. This is a collaborative venture of Kodak with Agfa, Fuji and the Rochester Institute of Technology. ITPAIS uses a photoscience thesaurus and contains 95,000 chemical accession numbers. Microfilm indexes to text and chemical structures are disseminated to the collaborating companies and DIALOG provides text access to the participants.

More and more entrants are anticipated into the field of carbon biomaterials. In the past, because of technology, patent or cost constraints, there were only several sources for, for example, pyrolytic carbon. A number of the earlier constraints have now been removed. Consequently, these materials are being produced in limited but increasing quantities in many countries, using a multiplicity of fabrication techniques. The challenge for the future is to be precise in material identification, characterization and to avoid generalization.

Searches can be done on the basis of key words for the technology, patent numbers, (where known), companies or inventors. Care should be taken in ascertaining where free access stops and charges begin, e.g. for ordering the full patent specification.
