Hi everyone,
In conjunction with the 2020 PIUG Annual Conference, STN is proud to announce our first ever virtual STN Patent Forum. The forum’s agenda is

Get the latest news on STN and development of various databases on the STNext platform.
Finding Freedom to Operate (FTO) on STNext
A Freedom to Operate (FTO) search is one of the fundamental approaches that all Intellectual Property searchers must master. A FTO search combines a comprehensive search of in-force or pending claims text in the geographic jurisdiction of interest with a confirmation of active legal status. STNext provides the necessary features to perform a thorough FTO search including:
- Comprehensive indexed worldwide patent family databases CAplusSM and Derwent World Patent Index® (DWPI) with searchable claims text
- Easy Structure searching capabilities including Markush generic structures
- Multiple full-text patent databases with searchable claims text and Numeric Property Search (NPS) capabilities
- Legal status databases that provide easy confirmation of active status of granted patents including IFICLS, INPADOCDB, and INPAFAMDB
The STN Patent Forum starts at 9:00 am EDT on October 30th. Although we hope to also virtually see you at the PIUG Annual Conference, you can attend the STN Patent Forum whether you attend the PIUG Annual Conference or not.
