What is a Family Legal Status report?
The Family Legal Status report is an easy to access report that lets you view the legal status for all members of a patent family in a single view.
[back to top]
The Family Legal Status report is available at no additional charge to Unlimited users, and on a transaction basis to Premier users for $5 per view. You will not be charged if no family legal status information is available for the family members (legal status information for the source patent is available as part of the Integrated View).
Basic users will not have access to this report.

Access the Family Legal Status report from the Delphion Integrated View. The link is located to the right of the INPADOC Legal Status field in the body of the Integrated View.
The INPADOC link (Show legal status actions) displays the legal status for the one patent represented by that Integrated View.
The Get Now: Family Legal Status Report link displays the report with legal status information for all members of the patent family.
Note: See Enhancing Your Search with the Delphion Integrated View and Field Help: Definitions and Searching for more information.
