Enhanced INPADOCDB and INPAFAMDB files feature more legal event categories, calculated expiry dates for all authorities and overall efficiency gains

INPADOCDB and INPAFAMDB have been enhanced  

• 27 instead of 7 legal event categories; most useful new categories are Entry into national phase and Non-entry into national phase, Fee payment, separate categories for SPC and Time Extension, and separate categories for Expiry, Withdrawal and Lapse.
• calculated expiration dates are now available for all authorities (except PCT) instead of only 41 before
• enhanced deduplication of names makes searching for inventors and assignees more efficient
• a representative title in the brief family display improves clarity
• extensive possibilities on family statistics are enabled by various new counts such as the number of applications, priorities, publications, legal events
• increased display performance (up to more than three times) helps to speed up evaluation of the results especially for large records.
• Changes to the display may affect reporting formats
