Beginning in the 19th century, patent searching was done manually in the =
Patent Office. Using the patent classification system or PCS (which is =
analogous to the Dewey Decimal System or DDC used in libraries), patents =
involving similar technology are assigned similar classifications and =
physically located together in the Patent Office. Searching relied upon =
the patent classification system to locate the best prior art. =20
Today, when you do a search on a computer terminal at a public library - =
for TRAINS, you are directed to the site in the library where the books =
about TRAINS are shelved. You don't use the DDC, except to know that =
hard copies of the books about TRAINS are shelved together.
=20
When searching for and printing patents online, the physical location of =
the patent in the Patent Office is irrelevant. With the recent access =
to global (including U.S. patents) online from the patent database, the =
point has now been reached where advanced keyword patent searching =
techniques can locate all of the best prior art in patentability =
searches.=20
This is the premise of a new book - "Keyword Patent Searching Online." =
KPSO makes a compelling case that keywords are now the best way to =
search for patents online and obtain professional-quality search =
results. =20
Four inventions are presented for the reader to search using basic =
technologies. Each search is challenging and requires about four hours. =
Step-by-step search solutions are provided that are easy to follow. =
The search results show how each patent is located. The presentation =
and layouts are completely original. KPSO is being used for seminars. =
