See References of (other patent)

When viewing Articles Cited by Examiner, occasionally specific cited references are not listed for a patent. Instead, the following text appears: "See references of (other patent)."

This is an artifact of the source data received by Derwent from the patent offices and can occur when an Examiner chooses to indicate that the same references (patent and non-patent) apply to two or more patents, rather than listing the specific references for each patent. Current processing systems do not enable auto-posting of the cited references in question to the record. As a result, to see the specific references it is necessary to view the record for the patent number given in the text "See references of (other patent)." Note that this is the same record if both patents belong to one family.
