PASTAT september 2010: what's new

This is just a resume of EPO letter annex to the DVD set of september 2010....

- First grant indication: the data for element 049 PUBLN_FIRST_GRANT has been replaced by source data from DOCDB XML in order to guarantee that the data in PATSTAT is in line with other EPO patent information products.

- PRS data:  in cooperation with the INPADOC legal status data team, is now available an extra table available that contains the PRS data. The table TLS221_INPADOC_PRS is NOT part of the standard PATSTAT distribution.  You will need to purchase product 14.11:  INPADOC Worldwide legal status (PRS) .

- Citation origin:  in table TLS_212_CITATION an extra "origins" for the citations has been added.  The list now contains extra:    ISR ==> 5 - citations from the International Search Report
            SUP ==> 6 - citations from the Supplementary Search Report
        and    CH2 ==> 7 - citations introduced during the Chapter 2 phase of the PCT.
Observant PATSTAT users have seen that we also use the numerical presentation of the citation origin.

- Green technology: TLS217_APPLN_ECLA now also contains the Y02 tags covering  "TECHNOLOGIES OR APPLICATIONS FOR MITIGATION OR ADAPTATION AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE".  These tags describe technologies that hold the potential for reducing waste and emissions, including greenhouse gas emissions
