GUIDES FOR USING THE SPS PACKAGE DATA BASES
PREPROGRAMMED AIDES PROVIDED Microsoft Access

• THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PRESET AIDES
• QUERIES LOCATED IN THE DATA BASE UNDER QUERIES
• A series of queries related to the data base
  title and number with brief descriptions of what
  each will do. A click on the relevant query
  opens the data base and positions the fields
  considered most relevant
• FORMS.
• Three forms which provide capability to review
  sets of fields that contain too much information
  for intelligible reading field by field . The
  forms place the information into a preset order
  and reflect the total of each field in vertical
  sequence like reading pages of a report.

numbers Review by Query - Assignee 2 Review
Individual Assignees With Patnumber,
Address Assignee 3 summarizes awards by
individual assignees (2360) by the location where
the award was applied for and made I.e. the same
company or organization may have applied from
more than one location. This will show the number
of awards by year by that location Review by
query - Assignee 3 Review Invidiual Assignees By
Location Sum By Years Assignee 4 summarizes

Notes The queries are designed to facilitate
direct reviews of the data. To get to them open
the Data Base Simulation Analyses 2000-2006 and
check the queries box. Place cursor on the
desired query and the data base will be opened
with fields in a suggested order. Any field can
be filtered or sorted as desired (for example
assignees can be organized by name, by location,
or by numbers of awards per year or for all
years. Users may open the data bases directly and
make their own queries or review the data
directly as they wish. These same notes apply to
all subsequent data base references

GUIDES FOR USING THE PACKAGE THE FULL TEXT
DATABASE

• The full text data base provides total patent
  information as it appears in the files of the
  U.S. Patent office
• There are five fields
• Rowall simply a numeric field to permit anytime
  return to the original order of the records
  since this is the order in which the patents are
  read
• Patnum the notation of the patent number
  related to each line of text within the patent
  permits filtering by one or a set of patnumbers
  which may be marked for review
• Category a customized coding of each line
  within the patent documentation which permits
  filtered reviews for the various categories I.e.
  Patnumber, Main Inventor, Title, Abstract,
  Inventors, Assignees, Application Number, Date
  Filed, Current U.S. Classes (The Primary
  References), International Classes, Field of
  Search (Referenced Classes having indirect
  relationship to the patent), References to other
  patents to which the current patent is related,
  Primary Patent Office Examiner, Assistant
  Examiner, Claims Made for what the patent does,
  Government Interests (agencies of government have
  interest in the intellectual property,
  Description (all other information placed under
  the non-standard headings used in the application
  usually as designated by the combination of
  patent guidelines and inventors or applicants
  choice.
• Text full line by line narrative as shown in
  the patent document

Best way to review is to open the data base
(about 4,452,822 lines) and program search by all
categories or within any field ( can be by word
or number or phrase or name or any other
descriptive definition one might wish to review
in toto as they are reading through the full
text Given the size of this Data Base, it will
be more efficient to seek the information within
the analytical DBs if they will yield what is
desired.
