4. Introduction
Every patent in the world is important. Whether from a state of the art or
from a protective position, every patent is important. How strange is it then
that there is no data product that provides access to all patents in the world?
That thought started the creation of The Diamond File ™. To create a real
global insight into all patents in the world. Not the 50 that are provided by the
patent office, because that creates a false sense of security. But all authorities
in the world. With the Diamond file we provide access to over 100.000 patens
per year, that do not show up in any patent family of the top 30 authorities in
the world.
We are pleased to introduce to you The Diamond File ™. Insight into 160
authorities for bibliographic data and over 130 for up-to-date status
information.

5. How it’s made
The Diamond File ™ is created by utilizing the unique network that
Lighthouse has created over many years. As one of its core competencies,
Lighthouse has a unrivalled skillset to source and process publications from
virtually all publishing authorities in the world.
By sourcing directly from each publishing office Lighthouse is able to
capture information that is not available anywhere today. With regular
updates, the latest status information and the most complete possible
owner data The Diamond File ™ is a must have.

6. This is the info
you’ll get from public patent
sources
While this is what you need
to be on the safe side

12. Lighthouse Invention ID
Introduction to the Lighthouse Invention ID ™
The key data element that connects all publications
and all events by one easy to use identifier

13. Lighthouse Invention ID ™
The challenge with various
types of publications and the
various events related to each
publication is how to connect
them all so it is fully clear
what the complete status of
an invention is.
For this Lighthouse IP has
developed the Lighthouse
Invention ID ™. Creating a
unique key that connects all
publications and all events of
one invention.

15. Lighthouse Event Code
Introduction to the Lighthouse Event Code ™
Simplifying and connecting over 2000 events to
20 easy to use main sections

16. Lighthouse Event Code ™
The Lighthouse Event Code ™ (structured as <lhip-code>) is providing an easy
to use grouping of all legal events. From over 2000 different events, 20
groups have been created to provide easy access and understanding to
events and to the group that they belong to.
Renewal fee paid, annuity paid, update fee paid all relate to the actual status
of a patent, and through the event code is becomes very simple to identify.
The lhip-code-description provides the description of the actual section in
each event record.
