Introduction
Measurement search allows searching for specific measurements units within a patent such as length, temperature, weight and others.
Which measurement units are searchable?
158 measurement units are searchable through the specific field, organized within 40 Unit Types.

In which patent fields?
Search can be performed in Claims /CLMS and Description /DESC of patents. US examples (/DESX) are also included.
Geographic coverage
To date (see this article update date), Questel has indexed yet the following collection:
- Complete collections: US published applications & patents with fulltext
- Recently introduced documents in FAMPAT with a fulltext: CN, JP, EP, WO, KR, DE, CA, IN, FR, GB, AU, IL. Complete collections for this offices are under processing.
Limitations
- English version only (original or machine translation). Original language is not indexed.
- Limited to the family level search (thus FamPat collection)
