Family Countries (By Simple Family)

A new field FAMC present for each record now stores a list of all countries (2 letter country codes) where the same invention (by simple family) has been protected.

This helps you lookup records of a particular country which have been protected/filed in another country too.

For example: For a query TACD:X say you want to lookup all US publications that are also filed in Germany or Japan 

So for this your query will be:

TACD:X and PBC:US AND FAMC: (DE or JP)

You can even use the FAMC filter that’s been added for similar analysis.

Another advantage of FAMC is easy lookup of worldwide coverage of any search query.

So for a query TACD:X, the FAMC (All family countries) chart will give you the worldwide filing/coverage status no matter what dedup. setting has been applied.
