The document summarizes new features and functionalities of the updated STN platform. Key points include: - An updated structure editor with improved drawing tools and the ability to set Markush attributes via right-click. - The ability to search across multiple databases (BIOSIS, Embase, MEDLINE) for substances in the CAS Registry using new cross-file search operators. - Export search results to XML and BizInt Smart Charts formats for further analysis and reporting. - Expanded content including new life sciences databases, engineering/technology databases, and Elsevier's ReaxysFile databases. - Integration of the Derwent Markush Resource (DWPIM) for the

Agenda
• New functionalities
• New databases

3. 3
Updated structure editor improves access to intuitive
drawing tools and features
• New non-Java version eliminates Java dependencies

4. 4
Updated structure editor allows users to set Markush
attributes with a right-click

5. 5
Structures can be modeled directly from CAS Registry
Numbers® via Add to Editor tool

6. 6
Cross-file search to BIOSIS®, Embase™ and MEDLINE® from
substances in CAS REGISTRY using REFX
• REFX searches the CAS Registry Number (RN) in the RN
field in each database
‒ RN highlighting is planned for a future release

7. 7
Cross-file search from BIOSIS®, Embase™ and MEDLINE®
to substances in CAS REGISTRY using SUBX
New STN remembers the L-number context and cross-file
searches the CAS Registry Numbers from Embase.

8. 8
Get References and Get Substances buttons are now
available for crossover searches between DCR and DWPI
Get References uses the REFX
operator to retrieve references.

9. 9
Patent classification thesauri allow you to easily include
patent classes in your search
• Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC)
• International Patent Classification (IPC)

10. 10
New export formats enhance workflow and ability to
derive insight from search results
• XML export (.xml) facilitates data sharing, analysis and
reporting*
• XML files are well-structured, consistent across STN and
ideal for professional software applications
• Support for BizInt Smart Charts (.bpd) lets searchers
take advantage of post-search reporting and analysis
capabilities
*Subject to STN License Agreement, CAS Information Use Policies, and
applicable data use policies and restrictions by third-party database providers

11. 11
XML and BizInt integration has been a highly requested
feature
Exported .xml file
Exported .bpd file in
BizInt Smart Charts for Patents

Agenda
• New functionalities
• New databases

13. 13
In 2015 the largest expansion of content enables broader
scope of search activity in new STN
• Markush structures from MARPAT and
DWPIM*
• Biomedical content: EMBASE,
MEDLINE, BIOSIS
• Complementary life science
databases: FSTA and CABA
• Engineering / technology content
incl. COMPENDEX and INSPEC
• New full-text databases for a global
patent portfolio that surpasses classic
STN full-text coverage
• Elsevier´s REAXYSFILE
* Derwent Markush Resource – coming soon!

14. 14
Up-to date ReaxysFile databases complement the
chemistry portfolio on new STN
• REAXYSFILESub
‒ From 1771 to date
‒ Organic and inorganic chemical substances
• REAXYSFILEBib
‒ From 1771 to date
‒ Bibliographic documents from Beilstein and Gmelin handbooks
of organic chemistry, chemistry journals and chemistry patents
‒ Both databases are updated monthly
Cross file searching through REFX and SUBX operators supported.

15. 15
ReaxysFile databases are searched similarly to DCR/DWPI℠
and CAS REGISTRY℠/CAplus℠

With DWPIM new STN will deliver the first-ever, unified
Markush search solution
• Consistent search of MARPAT
from CAS and DWPIM from
Thomson Reuters on a single
platform
• Offers same Markush attributes
as classic STN
• Retrieves results as Markush
structures, not references
• Highly efficient retrieval and
evaluation of Markush results
DWPIM hit structures:
Both the Assembled view and
Full view will be available.

17. 17
DWPIM is integrated with DWPI for efficient searching together
with CAS databases
• Full integration in Thomson Reuters and CAS content
• Simultaneous search for generic and specific chemical structures
