There are the legitimate children, the groundbreaking papers published in prestigious journalsgroundbreaking papers, published in prestigious journals in glossy print and with beautiful graphics. And there are the somehow illegitimate family members, the shadow-lik t t d t f th d k i l id flike patents: products of the dark commercial side of a researcher’s brain…That is at least what most academic researchers still feel about patents.”p

WEB OF KNOWLEDGE

• Patents: Importance as a Scientific Resource

PATENT CONTENT

– Patent literature is the largest single body of technical information available anywhere.

– A patent gives full disclosure of all details of an p ginvention: descriptions, drawings, diagrams, chemical structures, genetic sequences, etc.

– A patent is often the first place scientific and technicalA patent is often the first place scientific and technical information is reported – key Current Awareness Value

– A great volume of the information reported in patents is unavailable elsewhereunavailable elsewhere.
