35.2 Example 2<br />
Has a US patent for the application published as US 2002/0106495 already been granted?<br />
Notes: This search can most easily be accomplished in INPADOCDB, but rather than the legal status the STA field<br />
should be used where the status of the publication is registered. Another way is <strong>to</strong> search by the publications kind<br />
codes for granted patents. Note that these codes may vary between databases.<br />
The search by publication kind code should be done in INPADOCDB or in another national or regional patent<br />
database where all publications are displayed in a single document (for US: USPATFULL, IFIPAT). DWPI or HCAPLUS<br />
should not be used with this strategy because in these databases it is possible that the number of the granted<br />
patent is entered in<strong>to</strong> a different document of the patent family.<br />
From Jan. 2, 2001, the relevant US publication kind codes are USB1 or USB2 in USPATFULL/IFIPAT and in<br />
INPADOCDB.<br />
