Free
Trial: The new PATOLIS-e Gateway Service will be available
for a free trial period for all Questel ids. The trial starts
Monday, Sept. 25th and ends the 30th.
The
P803 format will not be available during the free trial
but will be available on Oct. 1st. The P807 format for legal
status and viability information will be available.
PATOLIS-e Gateway Service
To access the PATOLIS-e Gateway Service
via Questel on October 1st, you either have to be an existing
Questel customer (this does not apply to QPAT customers)
or apply for a new Single user agreement. This is explained
in detail in the Agreement and Pricing section.
The new PATOLIS-e gateway will only allow
searches via patent number, application number or any other
document number, and will include two display formats: P803,
for bibliographic, images and legal status information,
and P807, for basic bibliographic, legal status and viability
information. As with the existing service this includes
both patents and utility models, however machine translation
features will not be available.

Agreement and Pricing
Agreement
Agreement and pricing will differ from
the existing PATOLIS-e model and is as follows:
If you are an existing
Questel customer, again this does not apply to QPAT
customers, you will have two models to choose from:
- Pay-as-you-Go using your
existing Questel ID. You will pay a higher per-record
fee but do not have to apply directly for the PATOLIS-e
service.
- Corporate Access account
based on a yearly fee and a lower per-record fee than
pay-as-you-go. This plan gives you access to PATOLIS-e
via all your existing Questel IDs.
Questel customers may also choose the Single
User plan (please see details below), if only direct access
to PATOLIS-e is necessary. However in the next stage of
the PATOLIS-e linking project, available beginning of 2007,
you will be able to link to PATOLIS-e records directly from
records displayed within Qweb.
If you are not an
existing Questel customer but are a PATOLIS-e customer,
you can either apply for the Questel service contract and
use one of the above plans, or sign a Single User plan.
Single User plan includes an annual fee and a per record
display fee. This only allows access to PATOLIS-e and not
to any other Questel service. A signed agreement is required
to access PATOLIS-e.
Important: If you are not currently
a Questel customer and if you do not sign a Single user
plan, you will not have direct access to PATOLIS-e on October
1st.
Pricing
The new pricing includes a per-record
charge plus an optional yearly fee. Please note that there
are no monthly or search fees.
