The IFI integrated data includes several value-added fields that are calculated by IFI to provide patent status, expiry dates, standardized names, and claims summaries, among others. The IFI integrated data is available for US, CA, DE, EP, ES (without claims summaries), FR, and GB. About 50% of JP records also have IFI integrated data, although currently without standardized names.
Note: Greyed fields are not yet fully indexed; they will be indexed gradually.
