Derwent World Patents Index First View (DWPI First View) allows you to access details of all the latest Japanese JP-A patent applications — which are not yet in Derwent World Patents Index — within just one week or less from publication, and sometimes as little as one to two days after publication.

A typical JP-A record in DWPI First View provides an English-language translation of both the original author title and an abstract that highlights the use and advantage of the invention. The abstract translation is accompanied by a drawing image where applicable.

This English content for JP-A applications is created for DWPI First View using Thomson Scientific’s proprietary Machine-Assisted Translation (MAT) system. The MAT results are then post-processed by technical, bi-lingual staff in Japan prior to publication, to improve the quality of the machine-translation. These English translations are available for JP-A applications for all subject areas without restriction within one week or less from publication.

You can easily identify these MAT-generated titles and abstracts by use of the “MAT/FS” command in File WPIFV on STN, or the “RT=Machine Translated” command in File 331 on Dialog.
