Guide to STN Patent Databases
There are scores of different spellings in particular for
hyphenated names. It is useful to check different spellings (e.g.
type the first part of the name and then directly a hyphen
without blank) but in our case there is no additional hit.
The strategy shown in example 2 (searching for one part of the
name � ANALYZE/SELECT � joining the parts of the name with
(S) proximity) is an essential aid for searching hyphenated
names.
Only the search with (S) proximity, based on the ANALYZE result,
is shown here.

A change of the patent assignee name, due to a merger or
change of the patent assignee, is recorded in the legal status
field, LSPA, only. It is often not entered in the PA or PAS fields.
You should complement your search with the LSPA field. It is
possible to take the field PASS, which covers PA, PAS and LSPA.
