Chemistry - patent search and literature search
In chemistry, classical handbooks and abstract journals such as Beilstein, Gmelin or Chemical Abstracts have for a long time endeavoured to evaluate scientific publications and to render them findable for scientists. These services now also exist as electronic databases, rendering the knowledge retrievable all over the world.
In factual databases such as Beilstein and Gmelin you can search for chemical and physical properties of organic or inorganic compounds. Similar to the compound database Registry both databases enable you also to search for chemical structures, exact structures as well as substructures. In contrast to simple literature searches such structure searches require a special know-how, as routinely provided for our customers by us.
Moreover, we are specialized in patent searches in chemistry. In addition to searching for patent assignees, inventors or patent families, we search for compounds described in patents. These searches can be conducted either by a compound name (e.g. trademark or brandname) or by way of its structure. Complete compound-based patent searches always have to take into account generic MARKUSH structures that are widely used in patent claims. The database MARPAT enables you to conduct such searches.
