Highlighting in Document View
TotalPatent One® uses highlighting to mark your search terms in the document view. This feature can be useful in the case of especially long patent document sections, as it indicates where and how often a particular search term you used in your query is used in the reviewed document(s).
For example, if you search for vaccine in the title, abstract and claims ( TAC:(vaccine) ), and you open the document view, you can find the word vaccine highlighted every time it occurs in the title, abstract, or claims. It is not highlighted in other data objects (e.g. description) as these are not defined in the query. If you switch on Stemming, you can find additional highlighted keywords (e.g. the plural form vaccines).
Highlighting is available for text objects, classification codes, and persons. For more information, see
the table below.
Text objects: | Classification codes: | Persons: |
• Abstract ( AB: ) • Description ( DSC: ) • Claim ( CLM: ) • Full text: title, abstract, claim and description ( FT: ) • Title ( TI: ) • Title or abstract ( TA: ) • Title or abstract or claim ( TAC: ) |
• Cooperative patent Classification ( CPC: ) • International Patent Classification ( IPC: ) • US Class ( USC: ) |
• Inventor ( IN: ) • Assignee ( PA: ) |
Highlighting and Language Settings
Highlighting is available for machine translated and original language text objects. The results are strongly dependent on the language settings. For example, the German term Kraftwagen, in the query TI.DE:(Kraftwagen) , will be highlighted only if your User interface display language is set to Language of publication. If you display your results in one language (e.g. in English), terms in other languages will not be highlighted.
TI.DE:(Kraftwagen); Display language: Language of publication | TI.DE:(Kraftwagen); Display language: English |
Similar effects can occur when If you use multiple Search language(s) for words that occur in both languages and synonyms. For example, the English term Biscuit, in the query TI:(Biscuit) , occurs in both English and French documents, and depending on the available translations, French titles containing Biscuit will be displayed in English as Biscuit or Cookie. Both results are correct, but only titles that contain the term Biscuit will be highlighted.
TI:(Biscuit); Search languages: English and French, result translated to "Cookie" |
TI:(Biscuit); Search languages: English and French, result translated to "Biscuit" |
