DNA Patent Database Coding Form

• Each of the classification items has a unique 6, 7, or 8 letter alphanumeric code that is generated and added to the coding sheets along with the text description of the items.
• These can be used to search for various combinations of classification information without finding the patents themselves.
• These unique codes are show in parenthesis next to each line item. For items with counts, country information or dates, the code will appear directly before the information with a hyphen separating them on the completed coding sheet. This allows for searching with prefixes or exact matches. See the search examples below.
• For check boxes, the unique code will appear in the form if the box is checked.

• To find all coding sheets with inventors from the USA, enter INVCNTRY-USA on the search line. The hyphen is required.
• To find all patent coding sheets where the assignee is a public university, enter ASSPUBUN on the search line.
• To find all patents with one claim, search for CLMSTOT-1.
• Search for XREJECT to identify patents originally picked up by the Martinell algorithm but later rejected as not being DNA-based patents.
