EPFULL (European Patents Fulltext) database covers the full text of the European patent applications and granted European patents since 1978 and bibliographic records for PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) applications transferred to the EPO. Each record contains bibliographic data, full-text of detailed description and claims and legal status information. The complete specification is given in one of EPO's official languages English, German or French for published unexamined applications (A-documents) from 1987 to date and examined granted patents (B-documents) since 1991. Titles are available in all three languages. Claims can be accessed for A-documents in English, German or French, for B-documents in all three languages. Abstracts in the original language can be searched for all A-documents. English abstracts are added to German and French documents within several weeks of their addition to the database.
Patent, application, priority and related patent information, cited references, abstracts, detailed descriptions, claims and legal status information may all be searched. All data featuring the same application number are grouped together in one single document. Full text and legal status data corresponds to the European Patent Bulletin.
