Here, you can select the display settings for the result list.
The height of a list icon as well as the text size can be set.
Preferred languages
Patents often contain multiple texts in different languages.
Here, you can select which languages should be preferred when displaying the patent.
Entries can be moved up or down in order to set a priority.
Only the selected entries are considered.
If there are no texts in the selected languages for a document, a corresponding text is searched for.
In doing so, a text that is as "close" as possible is preferably selected.
The following order is taken into account:
- application
- strict family
- extended family
If there is no text in the selected languages, in the documents of the application, the texts of the strict family are searched and then those of the extended family.
Preferred countries
A result list can be grouped in different units.
For example, it is possible to show one patent per patent family.
Which family representative is displayed can be managed in the “Preferred countries“ setting.
Entries can be moved up or down in order to set a priority.
Only the selected entries are considered.
