IP.com Celebrates National Library Week

April 11, 2011 by IP.comGeneral2

The IP.com Journal is the print and CD counterpart to the IP.com Prior Art Database. The IP.com Journal is published twice per month. It contains all disclosures digitally notarized and made available since the previous publication. It may also contain some disclosures which have been marked to appear in the print journal prior to being made available online.

The printed summary of information includes the digital fingerprint for each file comprising the submitted disclosures. Since every computer file has a unique digital fingerprint, this provides a printed record that forever enables proof of the exact content of the original electronic publication.

The IP.com Journal is just one of the methods that IP.com employs to ensure that disclosures published to our databases are permanent and forever available. Each edition of the journal is distributed to libraries around the world . So hat’s off to libraries for National Library Week.

  • Tim Kingan: Mark, yes, your point about searching broadly and narrowing with use of technology class (and subclass) is important. However, when searching non-patent literature, proximity operators would be very useful, since keywords often need to be seen in their context in order to manage a workload. Scirus goes part way there by displaying snippets of text which may display more than one of provided keywords. However, for those tools I know of (Google Scholar, Scirus and now ip.com), proximity operators seem not to be available. View Post
