When records are placed in the Patent Queue (or a project), only the following are displayed:

A boldfaced title indicates that the details for the record have not yet been viewed. 


To view a partial abstract:  

Click the abstract icon ( queue1.gif ) to the right of the record.  The first 256 characters in the abstract are displayed.

Once a record has been viewed, the title is no longer bold.
