37.2 Subject search Example 2
The new answer set does not contain any duplicates.
We want to perform a text search in the full-text files, PATDPAFULL, EPFULL, and PCTFULL. To group the retrieved
documents by patent family FSORT will be used. The patent numbers will in addition be searched in INPADOCDB, as
this file has the priority numbers standardised and continuously updated and allows a comprehensive retrieval of
patent families.
Example: Lichtbögen in Bordnetzen (Electric arcs in on-board supply systems) (vehicles, aircrafts, electric vehicles, etc.).
