State of Art Search
About The Service
A State of the Art (SOA) search involves collecting information from various public sources, including patents, scientific literature, and products, within a defined technology domain. The primary goal is to provide a detailed overview of a specific technology area, highlighting current knowledge, innovations, and patents. This search can be tailored to a global or regional focus based on the organization’s objectives. While SOA searches offer in-depth insights, they are more targeted compared to broader landscape studies, which may lack specific details. SOA searches are designed to answer precise questions for business, R&D, or legal teams, giving a clear snapshot of the current state of technology.
Inventors often use SOA searches to stay updated on the latest developments in their research field or to review recent patents, helping them shape future strategies in their area of innovation.
Approach
Grasping the Technology
In this initial phase, we thoroughly explore the technology domain to gain a comprehensive understanding of its intricacies and key elements.
Conducting the Search
We conduct an extensive search across both patent and non-patent databases.
Our search strategies include:
- Keyword-based Searching
- Class-based Searching: Using classifications like IPC/USC/CPC
- Assignee and Inventor-based Searching
- Citation Searching: To identify related patents
For patent literature, we use databases such as Orbit (Questel, covering ~100 jurisdictions), Derwent Innovation (covering ~100 jurisdictions worldwide), Google Patent, and Espacenet.
For non-patent literature, we search relevant databases like ScienceDirect, PubChem, Pubmed, CiteseerX, Google, and Google Scholar.
Evaluation and Reporting
We identify relevant patent references through screening of Titles, Abstracts, and Claims.
We then categorize these references into distinct groups or taxonomies, providing a structured view of the technology landscape.
