Can you keep up with the times? Changing taxonomies in biotech searching
At PIUG 2011 I learned about a new product that will be critical for searchers in the biotech area: Names-for-Life semantically tags patent data with the most current biological taxonomy for organism names, helping searchers evaluate references and build search strategies on sound information.

Web of Science vs. Scopus: Which is better? (Part 1)
At Intellogist, we’ve spent a long time comparing the coverage information for various patent search systems. This is harder to do than it sounds. But what about major providers of (non-patent) sci/tech literature? In this post we compare two of the major product offerings.

3 rules to use when designing a patent search system interface
of us will wind up blaming ourselves for our lack of success; actually,
sometimes it’s just poor design that makes an application frustrating to
use. I’m currently taking a design course, and I’m amazed how many
interfaces that I interact with in everyday life don’t meet some simple
criteria for good “usability,” the ease-of-use and learning curve
needed to become proficient on a… Continue

Are you effectively using Japanese File Index and F-terms?
classification codes. The classification schedules are easy enough to
browse, and you probably understand the hierarchical organization of the
systems pretty well. But what about Japanese patent searching – can you

Are you catching reassigned US patents in your search?
Experienced patent searchers know that searching for patent databases by company name is hard – and I mean really hard. A company which owns a patent is called the patent “assignee” in the US. Take a look at our
assignee best practices wiki article over on the main Intellogist site to get an overview of some of the obstacles that can trip you up during this kind of…

Warning: your electronic patent search databases have gaps!
highlighting a mysterious gap in the USPTO’s online patent database:
data seemed to be missing for patent numbers between 6,363,527 and
6,412,112.
Rick Neifeld, of Neifeld IP Law, responded that his 1999 survey into the PTO’s data revealed many errors in the USPTO’s data, as many of us have probably suspected for some time. Rick’s description of…

New to patent searching? Here’s what you need to know.
It’s true – I was once new to patent searching, blithely dumping keywords into Google and saying things like “IPC code? What’s that?” Ah, youth. Fortunately, before turning me loose on the unsuspecting public, some extremely patient search experts worked with me on the major concepts of patent information.
And what is the biggest challenge for a new patent searcher? In my view, it’s understanding the legal…
