New Russian Full Text Patent Database RUFULL
RUFULL, a new patent full text database providing patent applications from the Federal Service for Intellectual Property in Russia (Rospatent), the Eurasian Patent Organization (EAPO) and the State Committee for Inventions and Discoveries of the former Soviet Union, is now available on STNext. Coverage back to 1924 is provided.
Outstanding features of RUFULL include numeric property search, key terms to support efficient full text searching and results evaluation, standardized and normalized patent assignee names, CPC classification codes including combination sets, and a separate update date for the full text. Also, bibliographic information has been augmented with related application information, and original patent, application
