<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The
Patent Information Users Group (PIUG) has awarded Robert Massie, CAS President,
its 2011 International Patent Award for his “significant achievements
toward the advancement of patent information.” Massie was cited for
overseeing important innovations such as SciFinder, STN AnaVist, and successive
versions of STN Express. The award selection Board noted that “Mr. Massie’s
impact on Chemical Abstracts when he took over in 1992 was phenomenal” as
at that time the processing of patents experienced significant time delays. “Massie
supported his team in completely re-engineering the document-handling process
at CAS.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

prior awards include the Patterson-Crane Award, the Executive of the Year Award
from the Industry & Technology Council of Central Ohio, and the 2008 Miles
Conrad Award from NFAIS.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
