DWPI Country Update — Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia

Derwent World Patents Index^® (DWPI^SM) has provided the following country enhancements:

Additional Malaysia backfile
DWPI began coverage of Malaysian granted patents (MY-A documents) at the end of 2010 starting with documents published in January 2010. The data now goes back to the beginning of 2005, and this data has now started appearing in DWPI as of update 201277. It will take several weeks before the backfile data is complete.

Enhanced coverage of Thailand
Coverage of Thailand is being enhanced to include registration numbers. These numbers are a five-digit serial number and will be indicated with the patent kind code TH-R0. They will begin to appear in DWPI in early 2013.

As part of this enhancement, the date that is currently used for TH applications in DWPI will be the actual application date rather than the date of publication of the registration number as at present. The application dates can be over 10 years old and these are now starting to appear in DWPI.

New coverage of Indonesia — the 50th data source in DWPI
In early 2013, coverage of Indonesian applications (national and PCT transfers) and Simple Patents from 2010 to date will begin. This marks the 50th data source in DWPI (48 patenting authorities, Research Disclosures and International Technology Disclosures). Coverage will include DWPI titles and/or abstracts with CPI/EPI manual coding and chemical indexing for new basics.
