Can I view patent documents via SciFinder?
Most recent patent documents (including applications) that are indexed in CAPLUS can be viewed via ChemPort. CAS links to U.S. patents via the USPTO web site, which contains full-text and images. Foreign patent documents are accessed via the esp@cenet web site of the European Patent Office. Be sure to examine the Patent Family information in the full record display; this will list equivalent patents and applications from other patent-granting entities. ChemPort only links you to the “parent” document as indexed in CAPLUS.
