Chapter 14 in Fundamentals of Patenting and Licensing for Scientists and Engineers, 2015, pp 267-289 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: A patent search is needed to accomplish a variety of tasks at every stage of the patent value chain: from inventing to strategy development to commercialization. Today, with the convenience of the Internet and many readily available patent database tools, free or otherwise, a patent search is no longer a patent law firm's territory. The ability to conduct a patent search should be a basic skill of everyone working in the intellectual property field, including inventors and IP professionals. Depending on the nature of your job, a variety of tools may allow you to accomplish both simple and complex patent search tasks. This chapter is intended to give you a brief introduction of several patent search and related tools to help you accomplish various tasks described earlier in this book.
