Researchers may also add patents, such as patents registered with a previous employer. Duplicate patents will be merged (Northern Knowledge (NK))
Note: Only a published patent should be recorded in Pure and only one publication per patent family: the first patent application. Other publications or additions can be requested from the patent database through R&V.
The patent can be registered in Pure as soon as it is published in Espacenet, i.e. ultimately 18 months after the first submission.
