A second optional argument in the cdws.f_family_extended function, v_include_apps Boolean, can be used to include application filing data from the patent office. The default setting of this argument is false in order to maintain consistency with the EPO. In some cases, however, application filing data is not included in the priority claims data. Setting this argument to true will include the application filing data, as in the following example.
