Search the Derwent World Patents Index

The Derwent World Patents Index (Derwent WPI), the largest value-added patent database in the world, is now available from Delphion. Derwent adds value to patent data through a process of rigorous classification, abstracting and indexing. Searching is both fast and easy -- in addition to simple keyword searching, you can also search by accession number, Boolean text, and multiple text fields. And because Delphion provides access to a wide variety of other data collections, you can easily link to other documents for immediate access to related information. For example, from each Derwent record you can simultaneously view text and image data, browse class codes, and access related patents.
