Online searching in an industrial patent department

J. F. Sibley

World Patent Information, 1985, vol. 7, issue 1-2, 83-91

Abstract: The author looks at the effects of online searching on his day-to-day work in an industrial patent department. This new technology has revolutionised patent family searching and name searching but has had less effect on subject matter searches, especially those used to investigate infringement and validity. Statistical analysis of patent holdings is reviewed.
