Before InPASS, I-PAIRS [Indian Patent\nInformation Retrieval System] were used to conduct the patent search in India.\nInPASS is an updated version of I-PAIRS as it allows for the full-text search\nof all Indian patents and Patent Applications. InPASS also allows the person to\nconduct a patent search using Boolean Operators and Wild cards. Now, InPASS is\nthe only Indian patent office database which is used to conduct an advanced\npatent search in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Patent Search is an attempt to search the complete database to find if any company or individual has filed for the patent for an application similar to the one for which patent is being sought. InPass has database where all patents and patent applications are stored, it gives detailed account of all the patents in the area of research. Hence it help in analysing, scrutinising and also deciding if it is worthwhile to file for <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/patent-registration\"><strong>patent registration<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Patent_Search_in_India\"><\/span>Patent Search in India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a &#8216;Patent Search&#8217; tab, there are further two checkboxes provided to allow to search either for Granted patents or Published applications or for both. After choosing it, one can search for patents or applications published based on any of the following search parameters. Those are as follows:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-79.png\" alt=\"Patent Search in India\" class=\"wp-image-16617\" width=\"520\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-79.png 665w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-79-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-79-300x300.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keyword Search<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, one requires to collect the keywords relevant to an invention or patent. The keyword search can be used in the search parameters such as the title, abstract, claims, and description. The patent search in India can be performed using the keywords along with &#8216;Boolean Operators&#8217; and &#8216;Wild Cards&#8217;. The search results will show the two columns. In the left column, the application number and patent number, title, status and application date will display. Based on a selection of the row in the left column, details [Date, Status Bibliographic Data and Specification] of the patent application and granted patent will display in the right column. Further, one can now view the details of <strong>Bibliographic data<\/strong><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bibliographic_record\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup>, the patent specification, and application and patent status in the respective tab. However, there is a limitation up to 1000 and 25 records per page to display the number of search records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Applicant Name Search<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Indian patent search database allows\nsearching for patent applications and patents by entering the name of an applicant\nagainst the relevant row for the search one has to enter the applicant&#8217;s name\nand press search. The result will then display a title of all inventions\npublished or granted in the name that has been entered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inventor Name Search<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Same as an applicant name search, one can\nalso search an inventor named in the result display. In addition, one can\nperform various search queries in order to retrieve the results based on the\nrequirements. The &#8216;Help&#8217; tab provided to learn more about details regarding how\nto use Wild Cards and Boolean operators. Now, one can easily search for patent in\nIndia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Patent_E-register\"><\/span>Patent E-register<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Indian patent search database allows\nchecking the legal status of the granted patent. In a &#8216;Patent E-register&#8217; tab,\nsimply enter the patent number along with a displayed code and also click to\nshow E-register. The result will be displayed the legal status of a patent,\ndate next renewal date, and Bibliographic data of patent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Application_Status\"><\/span>Application Status<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to a patent grant search, one can\ncheck the status of a patent application by the Indian patent search database.\nIn the &#8216;Application Status&#8217; tab, enter an application number along with the\ndisplayed code and then click on &#8216;Show Application Status&#8217;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result will be displayed with all the\ndetails of application such as application number, applicant number, priority\ndate, date of filing, and title of the invention, application status and also\npublication date.

It is to make sure that an invention already does not exist. A patent gives right to an owner to prevent others from using, making, importing or selling an invention without approval. Before the right is granted, a rigorous check is done on whether the process or product is inventive; or novel hasn&#8217;t been anticipated in any published document; and industrially applicable (possesses utility).
