CKS Web is a Japanese patent search tool offered by the Japanese company CKS Corporation.
Overview
CKS Web is accessible from a web browser, and does not require desktop software. Because the interface for the product is entirely in Japanese, users will require a Japanese-language enabled browser and Japanese encoding for their keyboards. There were about 2,000 users of the CKS Web system as of late 2010, according to a CKS representative.
According to the CKS website, features of CKS Web include:[1]
- Selective dissemination of information (SDI) alerts are available. The user can save a search query, and the system will notify the user by email about new results.
- Monitor prosecution and legal status.
- Citation tree diagram.
- Frequency tables for IPC and FI classes.
Users can subscribe to one or more administrative IDs, priced on a monthly basis. Users can also purchase administrative IDs with SDI viewing and/or SDI management capabilities.[2]
A full list of major recent updates to the system can be found on the CKS website (in Japanese).
