# Publication vs Family in Detail View

## In Detail view, the user can view in-depth information about a patent family as a whole or about a specific publication of a patent family.

### Publication Content

When viewing a patent family as a whole, the "Full-text" tab will show information from a representative family member for each section, however the representative family member from which information is gathered may be different for each section. If the system’s first-choice document is missing a field, the missing field will be pulled and displayed from another family member. An example of this can be seen in the family for document WO 01/48654 A1. The WO document does not have figures, so they are pulled in from the CA family member instead.

When viewing a specific publication, Quartet will show information for that publication only, meaning if a publication does not have information for a particular section, such as images, that section will be blank.

### Metadata

The data shown is different depending on whether a representative view of the family or a specific publication within the family has been selected.

#### If the representative member is selected:

- The Family legal status will be shown, wherein the status will be “Alive” if at least one family member is live, and “Dead” if all family members are expired.
- "Granted authorities" will show all jurisdictions in which a patent has been granted in the family.
- The dates shown will be the earliest instance of each date in the family.
- The entity names and classification codes will be aggregated from all family members.

#### If a specific publication within the family has been selected:

- A list of application events for the specific publication will be shown, including its legal status (if available).
- The entity names and classification codes will pertain to that specific publication only.
- Priority dates and application numbers for that specific publication will be shown.
