Patent Status Fields in CAplus and INPADOCDB/INPAFAMDB on STN JimBrown (FIZ Karlsruhe) and Paul Peters (CAS ) 11:45 am – 12:15 pm  ABSTRACT Determining the status of a patent can be quite difficult due to all of the potential legal status events that can happen to a patent. STN has greatly simplified this determination with the addition of patent status fields in CAplus and INPADOCDB/INPAFAMDB. This talk will give an overview on the patent status options available and will give some general insights how this data is created. The combination of value-add content and patent status data enables the searcher to incorporate new search strategies to, for example, FTO searches.  BIOGRAPHIES JimBrown is presently the Senior Key Account Manager for FIZ Karlsruhe in the U.S. His current duties at FIZ Karlsruhe Inc. include sales, customer trainings, authoring workshop manuals and presentations, and representing FIZ at conferences and exhibits.
