Abstract Exemplified compounds resulting from a substructure search are key to making filings based on novelty and inventive step [1]. Conversations with our attorney clients revealed that they prefer to see a table of structures with hyperlinks to references, rather than a list of references with the structures beneath them. To provide this structure-led display we have had to rely on internal macros written many years ago to reorganise the output from commercial chemical information databases, but the macros are not supported by our internal IT and often crash with large volumes of data. Analytical table tools in third party software have not been able to provide a solution either. For several years we have used a commercially available reporting software 2 to deliver reports, but it did not have the capability to include hit structures and was reference rather than structure oriented. We describe a collaboration with the software providers to develop a method enabling us to present our structures in an easy to read tabular format hyperlinked to their references. These tables are now used in our search reports for our chemistry attorneys, giving a succinct view of the compounds exemplified within a publication (patent and literature) to help facilitate decision making.

以客户为中心的检索报告的演变：与引用出版物相关联的示例复合表格显示

摘要 从子结构搜索中得到的示例化合物是基于新颖性和创造性进行申请的关键 [1]。与我们的律师客户的对话表明，他们更喜欢看到带有参考文献超链接的结构表，而不是带有结构下面的参考文献列表。为了提供这种结构化的显示，我们不得不依赖多年前编写的内部宏来重新组织商业化学信息数据库的输出，但我们的内部 IT 不支持这些宏，并且经常因大量数据而崩溃。第三方软件中的分析表工具也无法提供解决方案。多年来，我们一直使用市售的报告软件 2 来提供报告，但它没有包含命中结构的能力，并且是参考而不是面向结构的。我们描述了与软件供应商合作开发一种方法，使我们能够以易于阅读的表格格式呈现我们的结构，超链接到他们的参考文献。这些表格现在用于我们的化学律师的检索报告中，提供出版物（专利和文献）中举例说明的化合物的简洁视图，以帮助促进决策。
