April 2024: Thailand data delayed

April 2024: Five full text countries added; Unitary Patent Snapshots and flags loaded

In the past few weeks, we have added five countries to the CLAIMS Direct Premium Plus full text collection, bringing our total number of full text countries to 55. The new countries include:

  • PH (Philippines)
  • SA (Saudi Arabia)
  • SG (Singapore)
  • UA (Ukraine)
  • ZA (South Africa)

We have also finished loading Snapshots to all Unitary Patent C0 records as well as the ep-up-requested flags, which indicate whether Unitary Patent protection has been requested for EP-B records.

February 2024: IFI Snapshots added to Unitary Patent C0 records

We will soon be loading IFI Snapshots for Unitary Patent (UP) C0 records. The C0 marker Snapshots will include the same attributes as those in EP granted records (kind code B*), except that the list of countries will only include those participating in the UP at the time of registration. The status of individual UP countries will all be the same, and the overall status of the UP will have the same attributes as the overall status of EP records, e.g., “Active”, “Expired-Fee Related”, “Expired-Lifetime”, “Revoked”, etc. A new status of “In-force UP" will be used for active UP-participating countries. See Case 4 in IFI Patent Status for examples.
