EN:Result List

The result list is used to display the results of performed searches and the contents of folders.

General

After carrying out a search a new tab automatically opens displaying the respective result list.
The search window and the corresponding result list are grouped and highlighted in the same colour.

It is possible to switch between the open tabs.
New tabs are opened when a new search is carried out.

Among other things, the result list is used to evaluate patents (Allocation of stars and comments).
Subsequently the status of a patent can be changed.
Initially all patents are set as "unread" and can then be changed to the status "not relevant" or "OK".

Number search and display of results

The display of results can be grouped into different units:

D-Document
A-Application
S-Strict family
E-Extended family

Example: number search for EP 123456 A
All EP-A Documents are displayed (2D).

If the unit is changed from D-Document to A-Application, all 3 documents of the application are counted, thus increasing number of hits (3D).
Now the B-Document which was not found previously is also displayed, as the search was limited to the A-Document.

After changing to S-strict family additional applicants and documents are displayed.

When changing back to D-Documents, only the 2 documents found in the number search will be displayed.

Status of a patent

The following statuses are available (with increasing weighting):

• None (unread)
• not relevant (read)
• OK (read)

The status "not relevant" has a higher weighting than "None" and "OK" has the highest weighting.
All documents initially have the status "None".
In the result list the current status of a document is displayed to the right of the patent number in the result list.
If the status is "None", this field is left blank.
The 3 buttons for the allocation of the status, display the status of the currently selected document.

Example

As long as D - Documents is selected as a basis, all statuses can be displayed:

When changing to A - Application:

Now the highest status ("OK") is displayed next to the patent number.
The status "not relevant" is displayed during the status allocation, as the status of the representative is shown here.
The B-Document has the status "not relevant" and the B-Document is shown as the representative.

Save/open/manage

Depending on which unit/basis is selected in the current result, the result list is also saved with this setting.
The number of results also corresponds to the selected basis.
