World Patent Information, 2011, vol. 33, issue 3, 260-268

Abstract: No matter whether the search interest is in catalysts or catheters, albumins or zeolites, ICO ("In Computer Only") index terms developed at the EPO since the mid 1980s can definitely be of help. The purpose of this paper is to get the interested search professional more acquainted with ICOs, and the logic behind them will be briefly explained. Examples from the field of homogeneous catalysis (B01J31) and batteries and fuel cells (H01M) will be presented in this context, as well as a selection of suitable commercial databases that include ICO codes.
