The DPMA is currently preparing the procurement procedure "Research Platform DPMA" and is conducting a market survey for this purpose. This prior information is part of the market survey. A formal procurement procedure has not yet been launched. In this context, this pre-information is addressed to all market participants who can offer a research platform that meets the following requirements. We kindly ask you to inform us about the relevant research platforms that you can offer. Please send us relevant information by 2 May 2025, for example by e-mail to vergabestelle@dpma.de The rights of use for a web-based search platform including their access to databases with patent and non-patent literature in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, food chemistry, biotechnology, medicine, pharmacology, physics, material sciences and biology. The databases should include the patent law "state of the art" and make the following contents searchable: General • Database coverage since about 1800 Search in several databases without the need to import/export manually generated lists ("crossover searches") • Storage and management of search profiles • Extensive output and export possibilities of data, structures and reactions • The content should be subject to a permanent daily update. Accessibility of the research tool should generally be guaranteed Monday to Saturday, from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. • Regular training courses provided by the provider of the search platform and databases that meet the DPMA's needs in terms of frequency and depth. • During the normal working hours of the DPMA, Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., a technical and professional helpdesk will be offered by the provider. This can be reached by phone or e-mail and is available in German or English. • The use of the contents and search results according to § 29a PatG may not be excluded. Bibliographic searches (text-based searches) • Bibliographic data such as authors, submitters, year of publication, companies or institutions, country • Patent abstracts • Chemical names including trivial names, INN and IUPAC names • CAS Registry numbers • Derwent Chemistry Resource Number • Alloys, complex chemistry, minerals, mixtures, polymers, salts • Material properties • Physical chemical properties • Analytical data from IR, RAMAN, NMR spectroscopy • Pharmaceutical data, active ingredients, indications • Search for pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data • Medical and pharmaceutical trade names and their galenic formulations • Toxicological data • Search for formulations for metallic materials, glasses, detergents, cosmetics • Any external full texts should be made directly accessible by linking (to publishers' online portals, to national patent offices, ...). • Direct access to complete patent specifications by corresponding links in the search results • Manufacturing processes for biotechnological products such as antibodies and vaccines Structural searches • Chemical structures based on structure and substructure searches • Stereoselective searches taking into account absolute and relative stereochemistry, cis-trans and E/Z configurations, racemates • Search for polymers • Plant protection products • Amino acids, proteins and peptides • Nucleic acid sequences • Search for antibodies, mechanisms of action and structures of the ‘active site’ • Markush structures prepared for search in patent specifications • Search for biotransformations, metabolites and involved cytochromes • Combined searches for structures and bibliographic data Reaction searches Chemical reactions and processes, including with substructures
