Keyword searches
Run keyword searches against the patents in the List view. Searches return yes/no results, which you can use to prioritize patents for further review.
To run a keyword search:
- Select Add Keyword Search from the drop-down menu in the Search panel.
- Enter a Name.
This value becomes the name of the yes/no column displaying the search results. - Enter Keyword Search terms or phrases.
- Click Save.
The Add Keyword Search window opens.
Note: For a reference guide of Patents search syntax, see Search operators.
A new column appears in the List view, to the right of the concept and section columns. The column heading is the name assigned to the keyword search.
