It is essential because it enables\ninventors to locate prior art, which enables them to proceed with their work.\nThis data can consist of already-issued patents, works published in the public\njournal, or other materials that potentially invalidate a patent application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/indian-patent-search\">Patent search<\/a><\/strong> can also help innovators in finding possible infringement problems. This gives innovators the opportunity to make necessary changes to their invention before completing a patent application, which can save them a lot of time and money. Also, by ensuring that their patent application is original and non-obvious, inventors can enhance the quality of their patent application by doing a patent search. Inventors can modify their patent applications to highlight the distinctive features of their invention that distinguish it from existing patents and other prior art by recognizing existing patents and other prior art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_WIPO_Patent_Search\"><\/span>What is WIPO Patent Search?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The\n<strong>World\nIntellectual Property Organization<\/strong><sup><a class=\"text-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/World_Intellectual_Property_Organization\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup> (WIPO), a branch of the United\nNations (UN), offers an online patent database called Patentscope.

They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Simple Search<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The simple search option is a default search option which has eight predefined fields for searching like the front page, full-page, any field etc. It is an essential function which is designed to quickly and easily search the patent documents related to the query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"898\" height=\"369\" src=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-14.png\" alt=\"Patentscope Search Service\" class=\"wp-image-55024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-14.png 898w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-14-300x123.png 300w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-14-768x316.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 898px) 100vw, 898px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To use the Simple Search interface:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You can select one of the eight options available in the search fields from the drop-down menu;<\/li><li>After which you can add the search terms;<\/li><li>Click the button to search;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Advanced Search<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An advanced search option is a feature which is used for more specific and detailed searches. This search interface is for expert search. This kind of search is complex; with the advanced search, users can enter several search terms and filter their search results using Boolean operators like &#8220;AND&#8221;, &#8220;OR&#8221;, and &#8220;NOT&#8221;. With advanced search, users can use query assistants and query examples to help them when creating search strings, which can improve their understanding and search performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"904\" height=\"423\" src=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-15.png\" alt=\"Advanced Search\" class=\"wp-image-55025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-15.png 904w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-15-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-15-768x359.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 904px) 100vw, 904px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Field\nCombination<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Using\nprecise search parameters in any search field (such as the title, abstract,\ndescription, etc.), the Field Combination interface can be used to structure a\nmore focused search. To search many concepts together, one should use the Field\nCombination Search, a collection of pre-set search fields that can be combined\nbased on the demands of the user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nField Combination interface is used as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Using the drop-down menu&#8217;s arrow, choose the field or fields of interest.<\/li><li>Add or incorporate fields by using the AND\/OR boxes.<\/li><li>The user can click on the fields to add more fields or remove some of them.<\/li><li>Decide on the language in which to search (11 languages are available)<\/li><li>Using the button, choose the collection that interests you.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"866\" height=\"415\" src=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-16.png\" alt=\"Field Combination\" class=\"wp-image-55026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-16.png 866w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-16-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-16-768x368.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 866px) 100vw, 866px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Cross-Lingual\nExpansion<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Cross-Lingual Information Retrieval is known as CLIR. By integrating patent documents that were disclosed in other languages in the user&#8217;s result list, this tool enables users to broaden their search. The translator starts by locating a synonym for the user&#8217;s query before translating everything into 13 different languages. For instance, if a user types in a single English keyword, the list of results will also include the phrase&#8217;s synonym as well as translations of both the keyword and the synonym into 13 other languages. Compared to other search options, this technical search field is more challenging. You can search patent documents disclosed in any of these languages by entering terms in one of those languages into the search box. The system will then suggest alternatives and translate the phrases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"886\" height=\"318\" src=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-17.png\" alt=\"Cross-Lingual Expansion\" class=\"wp-image-55027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-17.png 886w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-17-300x108.png 300w, https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-17-768x276.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 886px) 100vw, 886px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Chemical Compounds<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Those\nlooking for chemical compounds can use chemical structure searches to identify\nthe molecules that make up the desired fragment.
