The Engineering Village Patent databases (EP Patents and US Patents) contain patents filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and patents filed with the European Union Patent Office (EPO).
Ei Patents use engineering-specific vocabulary, US patent classification codes, European Classification system codes, and International Patent Classification system codes, using engineering Village's search tools to produce accurate, relevant results.
The Oxford DNB was first published in 2004 in print (60 vols.). Since 2005 regular updates have extended the Dictionary’s coverage, now including biographies of more than 60,000 men and women who died in or before the year 2016—plus 536 ‘Theme’ articles for reference and research.
