*APTS: Application Number, Thomson Scientific
Starting from 1996 (DW 9626), German utility models are entered in the World Patents Index. A utility model may
also appear with its application number as a priority application (with BR, CN, DE, ES, IT, and JP priorities).
Note on text substances at invention level. To improve the accessibility of the content of the patents the
database producer formulates a new, enhanced title and an abstract in English. The words of the title can be
searched in their basic grammatical form (Title Terms /TT) and are complemented by Additional Words (/AW). The
proximity relations of the title words are maintained in the TT field. An online thesaurus is available in the /TT field.
Older titles consist of two parts separated by a dash. The first part names the field of the invention while the second
part summarises its novelty. Since 1999 there are newly structured titles and abstracts: The title is no longer
segmented, but still names both the field of the invention and its novelty. There are three different types of
abstracts:
Basic Online (Alert) Abstract
Technology Focus (only if sufficiently presented in the document)
Extension Abstract (CPI file segment in WPIX only)
The Alert Abstract is structured. The sections have these headings:
