As the library blog migrates to a new format I am reposting the "greatest hits" from the old blog. These entries have been updated with new web links where appropriate and reformatted for the new blog. Think of these entries as catching up with old friends or learning about a resource that you missed the first time.

The entry below was originally published by Roberta Woods on April 9, 2009.

 

Westlaw rolled out a new database to search Markman orders from federal district courts.  It is MARKMAN-ORDERS. 
From Westlaw's E-Lert Newsletter:  "A Markman order is a pretrial order in which the federal district court construes the meaning of key words in patent claims. A Markman order might construe claims from multiple patents at once."
 
In the MARKMAN-ORDERS database "you can retrieve documents and patent file history from the underlying patents by clicking the appropriate links on the Links tab. (Note: These links do not appear when you retrieve a Markman order from the DCT database.) If you are viewing a patent that had been the subject of a Markman order, you can retrieve the Markman order by clicking the appropriate link at the KeyCite® history or Graphical KeyCite display."
