Database: PATDPA

PATDPA is a patent file containing the bibliographic data and legal status for all kinds of patent documents and utility models published by Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt (German Patent- and Trademark-Office) as well as all kinds of patent documents of the European Patent Office and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) designated for the Federal Republic of Germany.

The German patent documents contain abstracts since 1981, main claims of German translations of granted European patents since June 1992, and main claims of all granted German patents since January 1996. European patent documents contain abstracts of applications filed in German language since August 1998 and main claims of all granted European patents since August 1998. WIPO patent documents contain abstracts of applications filed in the German language since August 1998. Patent drawings, chemical structures, and complex mathematical formula published on the front pages of German first publications are included as images since 1983. Prior art citations of patent and nonpatent literature of the search report are included.

The database is in German.

PATDPA is updated weekly, usually each Thursday, the publication day of the official Gazette of the German Patent- and Trademark-Office.
