Missing patent #366

Closed danidi closed 8 years ago

danidi commented 8 years ago

EP-1839659-A3 is shown on the SureChEMBL page to be an alternate of WO-2002100886-A1. Querying for http://rdf.ebi.ac.uk/resource/surechembl/patent/WO-2002100886-A1 in the patent information call does not show EP-1839659-A3. A query for http://rdf.ebi.ac.uk/resource/surechembl/patent/EP-1839659-A3 gives a 404 error. Is there a reason why this patent is missing?

1) I do not think we have implemented any "lenses" in patent families / equivalents - unless this is a new feature. Searching with one won't retrieve any equivalents. 2) EP-1839659-A3 is missing anyway because it is not a full-text patent (only title and abstract, -A3 are usually search reports, https://register.epo.org/help?topic=kindcodes) and it does not contain any chemical entity.

Correction in point 1 above: Looks like there is a new alternateOf field that implements patent equivalence. I didn't know but it's very useful and cool! Point 2 is still valid though.
