The Shopping Basket

Content:

The Shopping Basket displays the list of patent documents which you have selected during your search session.

Purpose:

You can use the Shopping Basket for various purposes:
  1. To maintain a list of patent documents you want to consult frequently, without the requirement to search these patent documents again.
  2. To maintain a list of intermediary search results of the most interesting patent documents, while you are still doing further searches.
  3. To order the paper copies of the selected patent documents via your National Patent office (or via the European Patent Office).

Deselect documents:

You can deselect documents from the Shopping Basket by simply unselecting the checkbox in front of the Publication Number in the list.

Clear the list

To clear the list of selected patent documents, press the button.
All your selected documents will be deselected.

Order Documents

To order the selected documents, press the button.
Your list will be sent to the National Patent office through which you accessed the esp@cenet network

Important:

Your selection of documents in the Shopping Basket is maintained. Even if you restart your computer the next day, you will be able to access your selected documents in the Shopping Basket.

Note:

The Order Document Facility is not yet functional. It will become available soon. You will be informed about the procedures for payment for ordered documents on the News pages.
