MOST NPL SEARCHES BY IP ANALYSTS/R&D STAFF ARE INCOMPLETE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT SEARCH ALL POSSIBLE SOURCES
AVAILABLE NPL DATABASE(S) BY SUBJECT MATTER
CONTEXT
SciTech Patent Art’s analyst team conducts 1000’s of patent and non-patent searches every year. In non-patent searches, e.g., searches in websites, technical literature, trade journals, there is a significant time wasted in identifying websites, waiting for pages to load, clicking on links, etc.
WHAT SCITECH PATENT ART DID?
To improve it’s own search capability and improve productivity of its analysts, SciTech Patent Art developed a Deep Web Search Tool that gives user control to crawl specific sources/sites in a hypothesis-driven manner which makes the results a lot more focused and at the same time, ensures that the searches are comprehensive
CURRENT STATUS
SciTech Patent Art’s internally developed and tested tool is now being offered externally for licensing
