database for any chemistry/pharma searchers, enabling chemical structure searching for full text patents. With additional updates
on the Minesoft alerting services CiteTracker and LegalTracker, make sure you don’t miss it!
Searching of the Unsurpassed Markush Content Collection on New STN
Robert Austin – Senior STN Trainer, FIZ Karlsruhe
As the number of chemical structures disclosed in patents rapidly increases, it is imperative that IP professionals have the right
tools for searching this information efficiently and reliably. The latest release of new STN introduced Markush structure search, so
that new STN now provides unsurpassed coverage of generic and exemplified chemical structures. The workshop will provide an
overview of the outstanding search capabilities in the chemical databases from Chemical Abstracts Service and Thomson Reuters
on new STN®.

Creating Reports from New STN with BizInt Smart Charts for Patents
John Willmore – VP Product Development, BizInt Solutions
In this workshop we will demonstrate how you can create professional reports from the new STN platform using BizInt Smart
Charts for Patents, with examples from DWPI, CAplus, the full text patent files, and non-patent literature. You will learn how to
create a summary report integrating indexing from CAplus together with claims from the full text files, and even how to provide a hit
structure report for your clients.
GenomeQuest: Latest Features and Advanced Workflows
Denis Bayada - Product Manager, GQ Life Sciences
In this workshop, we will present several new features of GQ, as well as a few very advanced and sometimes misunderstood GQ
capabilities. Some of the new features include viewing alignments NCBI style, accessing US PAIR status and automatically
combining Blast HSPs. The advanced features section will include how to view one alignment per family with UFS feature, doing
antibody searches in different ways and viewing results for multiple queries.
LifeQuest: Combining a GQ sequence search and a separate full-text search in LifeQuest
Denis Bayada - Product Manager, GQ Life Sciences
In this workshop, we will start from a GQ sequence search, export selected results to LQ and view them, within LQ, alignment and
full-text data included. We will review the LQ syntax and create a query to search full-text patent documents related to the previous
GQ search. We will them merge the two LQ workfiles and highlight different interesting documents. We will review the different
highlighting possibilities and export our results. Finally, we will see how changes over time can be highlighted and reported.

Ambercite: Introduction to Cluster Searching - A Second Opinion in Seconds
Doris Spielthenner, CEO Ambercite
No patent analyst or searcher can be a 100% expert in all required knowledge domains. This workshop shows you how
Ambercite Cluster Searching can give you an objective second opinion on any search strategy or result set, in a matter of
seconds. It is also a fast and easy search solution in areas that are hard to search for. Why? Ambercite leverages the
distributed intelligence of patent examiners and applicants by building a big network of the world's ~150 million citation
opinions and analysing them in a new and smart way to assess patent to patent similarity and patent importance. You will
learn how to:
•
Find critical patents missed by other techniques or tools.
•
Simply input a starting list of relevant patents
•
Rank results by similarity for easy review and export
•
Quality check any search strategy or result set in seconds
•
Quickly evaluate a portfolio and identify licensing opportunities
