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:

1. Select Add Keyword Search from the drop-down menu in the Search panel.



The Add Keyword Search window opens.


2. Enter a Name.
   This value becomes the name of the yes/no column displaying the search results.
3. Enter Keyword Search terms or phrases.

Note: For a reference guide of Patents search syntax, see Search operators.

4. Click Save.

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.
