The expression in brackets including the place can be searched together with the name as a phrase ("..."), or the
respective E number can be used. If single words from the name or place are to be searched then the place must be
searched in the /INA or /PAA field respectively, linking the search fields by (S) proximity:
=> S BOSCH/PA (S) STUTTGART/PAA
62591 BOSCH/PA
104144 STUTTGART/PAA
L22 53834 BOSCH/PA (S) STUTTGART/PAA
Postcodes or a range of postcodes can also be searched:
=> S DE70!!!/PAA
L23 58456 DE70!!!/PAA
A mixed index is also used in the /AG (Agent) field. If more than one part of the name is entered (S) proximity is used
automatically. To obtain a complete result it may be necessary to explicitly use AND to link parts of the name.
As the place name is entered in a number of different ways (see example below) a search with the place should be
done only with the E numbers obtained by EXPAND:
=> E ENGEL UND KOLLEGEN/AG 8
E1 1 ENGEL K/AG
E2 1 ENGEL K RECHTSANW/AG
E3 113 --> ENGEL UND KOLLEGEN/AG
E4 113 ENGEL UND KOLLEGEN (98527 SUHL)/AG
E5 1 ENGEL UND KOLLEGEN SUHL/AG
E6 1 ENGEL UND KOLLEGEN, 98527 SUHL/AG
E7 31 ENGEL, C. 'DIPL.-ING., PAT.-ANW.' (98527 SUHL)/AG
E8 30 ENGEL, CHRISTOPH KLAUS (98527 SUHL/THUERINGEN)/AG
=> S E6
L24 9 "ENGEL UND KOLLEGEN, 98527 SUHL"/AG
19.6.4.1 Notes
No Inventors are entered for utility models, only the Assignee is available. When using DISPLAY and SELECT the PA
field is used in place of the IN field.
It may happen that in some cases the first name of an Inventor is erroneously entered in /INA. First names should,
therefore, be searched additionally in /INA; the surname in /IN and the first name in /INA must be linked by (S)
proximity.
19.6.5 EPFULL
There are special SEARCH fields for the address details of the inventor, of the patent assignee, of the agent, of the
opponent and the agent of the opponent:
