Patent Search
Patent searching is a key tool for companies all over the globe. To hold an upper edge, a company chalks out it’s road map on various factors where patent searching is practised as a necessary tool to give strategic inputs.A patent gives it’s owner the right to restrict others from forming, applying, importing or trading the invention without permission. Before such a right is given, there is a precise check on whether the process or product is inventive (i.e. isn’t obvious), novel (hasn’t been foreseen in any published document) and industrially relevant (possesses utility). A patent search typically deals with search, research, and data mining.
It includes a search of the database of the intellectual property regulator of India to verify whether an already existing object or invention is either identical or similar to the applicant’s invention.
A patent registration helps you to get a patent of an intellectual property (an invention carried out by an individual or a firm). A Patent is governed by the Patent Act 1970 & Patent Rules 1972. If you file a patent now then after 20 years it falls under the public domain. or online patent filing in India can be done by Maheswari Consultancy which acts as a patent agent in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai & all other Indian cities.
There is a need to carry out a patent search. You will have free access, all the relevant and latest information on competitors work. You can make great use of this information by carrying out a patent search:
- As a source of information. You may see technical solutions that you would never before thought of.
- Patent searches instantly show if somebody has already had the same idea as you.
- Patent searches reveal whether your invention is fresh and innovative and hence patentable.
- To find prior art if there is anything already registered or under the process of registration that could also include documents outlining the state of the art or material which the applicant would be interested in.
- To find out that if there is anything which has been already registered or is under the process of registration which can also include documents outlining the state of the art or any material which the applicant would be interested in.
To preserve you from infringing the patent rights of others. Always use patent-protected designs for your products or services.
- Search by keyword
- Search a research database for a particular discipline and limit the search results to just patents.
The way you search for patent information will depend on your purposes and what you know already. Your search can be centred on the appropriate technology, the markets you are interested in, or possibly what your competitors have preserved.
Patent classification
To make searching more comfortable, every patent is divided by it’s subject matter. Patent classification schemes have a tree-like structure, and all level of classification has a different reference code. Inventions are classified into technologies Example: – “Engineering” has been divided into classes like mechanical engineering and then into subclasses like machines or equipment. Patent classification is a hierarchical system that incorporates a patent according to the state of technology it falls into. It performs managing and searching patents that fall into the identical technical group or sub-group.
There are various patent classifications like the International Patent Classification, Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC), etc.
The 2 main group schemes used by patent offices globally are:
- The International Patent Classification includes about 70,000 different IPC codes. You can survey the class headings and do keyword searches on the WIPO website IPC page. We use this type of system as it’s more common.
- The Cooperative Patent Classification is an expansion of the IPC. It’s together controlled by the European Patent Office and the US Trademark and Patent Office.
Searching using classification codes
Classification codes can be a helpful tool when examining inventions. Keyword searches alone can lead to very large numbers of results. Using classification codes collectively with keyword searches can assist you to get focused results.
Usually, searchers will make a list of keywords that define the invention and recognize appropriate classification codes. Top-level classifications are helpful when the same term can be used to define an invention in varying technoloical fields. Lower order classifications can be helpful to narrow a search where a huge number of documents are reclaimed.

- Keyword Searches: Use of ideas and terms linked to the invention or the area of interest by entering text characters as search terms. Using different terms like synonyms, spelling variations, acronyms which also assists in locating records linked to the same technological area. This is generally used and is a basic search category for patent searchers.
- Classification Searches: Precise codes have been selected to describe different technical fields which are used to classify patented documents.Patented documents are classified as per the subject matter of claims. Classification search helps in recognizing patents to a precise technical field. This search is especially effective to open patents not having any particular keyword which is used in searches but is relating to a specific technology.
- Structure Searches: Chemical structures can be searched on several databases where molecule to molecule indexing of chemical structures is done. The searches are typically useful since keyword searches are frequently inadequate to recover appropriate structures or full versions of the structure of interest to the searcher.
- Sequence Searches: On the same lines to chemical structures, sequence searches are applied for nucleotide and protein series.
- Image Searches: Usually not given by primary databases, some search engines like Google permit image to image mapping search algorithm which assists in recognizing same images. These searches can be typically helpful for mechanical and electromechanical inventions.
Before registering a patent application, a patent search can assist with various objectives like:
- Defining the probability of having a patent granted to a stated intention.
- Verifying the claims to be filed in the patent application.
- Deciding the freedom to operate.
- Settling whether a given patent can be invalidated.
- Understanding more about the same inventions and status of same patent filings.
- Truncation or Wildcard operators: It is a kind of operator that stands for an undefined number of characters in doubts.
- Proximity operators and Proximity operators search: Proximity operators search are based on the distance by several terms departing 2 keywords and even locate words in the same para.
- Boolean Operators: Main Boolean operators are AND, NOT, and OR that can be applied in all collections.
- You have multiple options when beginning a patent search. A professional is more likely to obtain prior information than you and will do it quickly, so contact our expert team to do this for you.
- Doing your patent search, first, brainstorm a list of related keywords. With any search engine, online patent searches provide results only as good as the keywords. Therefore, high-grade keywords increase your chances of getting proper information. As there are more than thousands of patents. The best keywords might save you hours of searching the completely irrelevant patents.
-
Valuable questions to ask yourself and answer in the most precise technical terms when building your keyword list are:
- What is my invention’s design?
- Is my invention a process or a product?
- What is my invention made of?
- How is my invention used?
- Keep up to date yourself with old terms and business jargons and consulting scientific dictionaries and glossaries will help you find more keywords. Understanding these terms will give you a choice when doing a patent search. Also, look for buzzwords and terminology regarding the latest technology.
- You might examine existing products and discuss with our experts before doing your patent search. You will get a better feel for the market in which your product will compete. You may receive a better idea of which elements of your invention are most innovative and patentable and which are required to be clarified. Be aware of the fact that some parts of your invention may have been previously patented.
- Information about “Old-fashioned products and products in improvement but not yet on the market” is also necessary to be gained, so by knowing industry journals, historical documents, trade shows and exhibition listings etc is beneficial.
- Also, make yourself familiar with some of the basic patent search tools.
