Derwent and INPI (the French Patent Office) have collaborated to produce an exclusive searchable patent information resource for the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. The Merged Markush Service is the first product of this collaboration, providing a joint file which combines the existing MPHARM and World Patents Index Markush (WPIM) files on Markush DARC. This enables precise, comprehensive retrieval within the online text-based files - PHARMSEARCH and Derwent World Patents Index.
