12. Simple search

13. Examples of searches a specific number: a reference to patent document in the press, in a trial, etc, an individual, an inventor, an applicant, etc, for example Steve Jobs, a company whether it is for personal interest, for merging and/or acquisition purposes or to keep track of the work of a competitor an IPC code a specific date. For the entire PCT publication available on Thursdays, use the Browse by week option a subject matter expressed with simple keywords, a concept that is very specific in order to have a limited number of results

14. 7 tabs Front page: the search criteria you entered in this field will be searched in the front page of the document Any field: the search criteria you entered in this field will be searched in any fields of the document Full-text: enter your query in this field if you are interested in full-text ID/Number: enter here publication number, filing number, etc IPC: enter any IPC code Name: enter your search in this field to look for the name of an inventor, an applicant, a company, etc. Date: enter any date in this field such as filing date, publication date, etc

15. Field Combination

16. Search examples Inventions by Steve Jobs in 2007 Patent documents containing microchip with licensing availability.

17. Advanced search

18. Search examples: field code, Boolean and range operator Inventions made by Steve Jobs published during the period from 2007 to 2009 comprising the keyword “touch” in the description. IN:(Jobs) AND PD:[2007 TO 2009] AND EN_DE:(touch) This search query uses field codes, a Boolean operator, and a range operator. The field codes are IN for inventor, PD for publication date, and EN_DE for English description. The Boolean operator AND is used to ensure that all search terms are included in the search results (i.e. that the results are for Jobs as inventor, within the given publication date range, and using the word “touch”). The range operator TO is used to define a range of publication date values.
