The Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) has announced additional features on their Canadian Patents Database and Decisions of the Commissioner of Patents.

The new features include:

• "Highlighted search terms: terms defined in the original query will be highlighted on document detail pages.
• Improved navigation: search results pages are now numbered for easier access to specific pages.
• Toggle between languages: switching from English to French and vice versa is possible on all pages.
• One click access to images: Images are now accessible through a single click. Images that are not available are denoted with “N/A.”
• Database update indication: dates at the footer labeled “Last updated” indicate the date that the content of the database was last updated. Footers with the label “Date modified” indicate the date that major changes were made to the layout of the web page.
• Single browser window viewing: detail pages will open in the same browser window as the search results pages."
