Derwent Patents Citation Index

The Derwent Patents Citation Index® (Derwent PCI) is an online database of citation data appearing in patents from 6 major patent authorities. It provides details of citations, both patent and literature, reviewed by the examiner during the examination of a patent application.

Derwent PCI is the only database providing multi-source patents citation coverage of all technologies. Prior to May 1997, examiner and author citations were provided for 16 patent-issuing authorities. The database also contains a backfile with patent records dating back to the 1970's.

Derwent PCI contains all up-to-date bibliographic patent family data from Derwent World Patents Index and all patents and literature cited by examiners, as well as references to citing patents. Each week, new cited and citing references are added for approximately 45,000 records from six major patent-issuing authorities.
