What exactly should I find on Google Patents for “methyl dihydrojasmonate”?
To locate the right documents on Google Patents, search for the compound name and common variants. Try queries like:
- “methyl dihydrojasmonate”
- “methyl dihydro jasmonate” (space variant)
- “methyl dihydrojasmonate” plus likely claim terms such as “composition,” “use,” “plant,” “insect,” “fragrance,” or “preservative” (depending on the field you care about)
This will surface both patent applications and granted patents that include the term in titles/abstracts/claims.
How do I filter Google Patents results to “US patent application” documents?
On Google Patents, after searching:
- Use the country filter to select “United States”
- Use the document type filter (if available) to narrow to “Patent application” (not just granted patents)
- Sort by “Relevance” or by “Date” if you’re trying to find the most recent filings
US applications on Google Patents usually have publication formats like “US 20xx/xxxxx” (publication of an application), while granted patents show “US x,xxx,xxx.”
Which specific US patent application could be relevant?
Your question doesn’t include the exact publication number or the wording of the application. “Methyl dihydrojasmonate” can appear in multiple contexts, so the exact “US patent application” depends on which formulation/use you mean (e.g., agriculture, industrial chemistry, fragrances).
If you paste one of the following, I can help you pinpoint the exact record and summarize it:
- a Google Patents link, or
- the US publication number (example format: US 2019/0123456), or
- the patent title/assignee you’re seeing
How can I search for the chemical by identifiers (often improves accuracy)?
If you’re not getting good results by name alone, try searches using:
- CAS Registry Number (if you have it)
- chemical synonyms shown in Google Patents
- formula-related terms (if you know them)
These approaches reduce missed matches caused by spelling or naming variations.
What if the “US patent application” is actually a continuation or family member?
Sometimes what looks like “the application” is part of a patent family (continuations, divisionals, PCT national phase entries). Google Patents can show the family and related documents on the same record page, so the “US application” you need may be:
- a different US publication number within the same family, or
- a continuation that reuses earlier disclosures.
If you share the record link you found, I can tell you which US documents in the family are the actual applications you’re looking for.
Next step
Send either:
1) the Google Patents URL you’re looking at, or
2) the US publication number (US 20xx/xxxxx) you suspect, or
3) the assignee/company name shown in the result,
and I’ll identify the correct “US patent application” entry and extract the key details from it.
