Transmission to patent bodies
Our optional "Examination content" service constitutes the transmission of your article to international patent bodies and the inclusion of the article in the databases of the patent examiners. As a consequence, your article will be taken into consideration as "Examination content" in patent searches by the offices. If you select the Examination content option, the probability that third-party property rights will be granted in respect of your ideas is reduced and you may avoid having to challenge such property rights retrospectively.
You can add the "Examination content" option flexibly for a given publication.
