June Update


What's New

We've recently added the following new content and functionality to Thomson Pharma on 4th July:

  • You can now receive e-mail alerts whenever your Home Page is updated. This means you can keep up to date with the very latest information in Thomson Pharma. You can choose to receive e-mail alerts as soon as fresh content is added to any of these Home Page portlets:
    • Drugs
    • Collaborations/M&A
    • News
    • Meetings
    • Clinical Trials Watch
    • New Compound Viewer
    • Licensing Opportunities
    • FDA Advisory Committee
  • We've added a new Guided Search for Competitive Intelligence—Therapy Areas. This enables you to search for companies that are active in a chosen therapy area and view Company, Intellectual Property, and Drug reports
  • When conducting a Drug Form Search, you can now search by 13 different types of development status. You can also limit your search by country, using a new Country field
  • Intellectual Property reports now include technology citations. These link to patents that share a common theme or technology with the patent you are looking at, enabling you to widen your research.
  • Intellectual Property reports now also include information on the patent type; so you can see if the patent is for a new use for an existing invention, a new formulation, or a new technology
  • Target reports now contain literature references
  • Literature and News reports have been divided into three subtypes, to make it easier to identify which type of information you are looking at. The reports have been split into:
    • Journal articles
    • News reports
    • Meetings

Hints & Tips

  • Did you know that you can easily share information from Thomson Pharma and collaborate with colleagues, by exporting up to 1000 results records into Excel
  • If you want to re-use a search but haven't saved it, don't worry. In Thomson Pharma, you can view and re-use your most recent searches, even if they were not saved, by simply going to the My Latest Searches folder in the folders area
  • When you are viewing an Intellectual Property report, did you know that you can also access information about companies with links to the patent you are looking at? You can see if the company is an opponent or infringer of the patent, then view a detailed Company report
  • When you are looking at an Intellectual Property report, try clicking on the PDF links in the Patent Details section. It will open up a PDF of the full text of that patent
  • If you've created your own Home Page, you can save it as your default home page by simply selecting the home page you've created and clicking on "Save as default home page" from the rollover menu
  • Did you know you can save searches and reports in the folders area, in addition to alerts
