Derwent World Patents Index | Legal. INPADOC. The bibliographic and legal status databases form the basis of the EPO's raw data resources (INPADOC). In February 2008 the bibliographic data included about 60 million bibliographic data sets from almost 80 different countries. The legal status database contains a collection of more than 50 million legal events from 48 countries. From the beginning, the concept was to cover as many countries and as many publication levels as possible.
One of the strongest motives for the integration of INPADOC into the EPO was the wish to combine the particular strengths of INPADOC with the EPO's existing in-house bibliographic database, "DOC-DB". Following integration of the two databases in the 1990s, the raw data behind both databases is now the same. Features of INPADOC When using INPADOC via one of the commercial database host services, it bears all the Espacenet features, plus the following: Definition of the "extended" (INPADOC) patent family Example of an "extended" (INPADOC) patent family.
