What is the significance of patent search?

Patent retrieval is a process of selecting documents or information that meet specific requirements from a large number of patent documents or patent databases according to one or several characteristics. What is the significance of patent search? It is very important for enterprises to understand the trends of patents around the world and avoid repeated research and development and waste of funds. Because there are many patents in the world and they have the characteristics of priority, no one can guarantee that their ideas are unique in the world. The invention patents you can think of are likely to be thought of by others, so any individual or enterprise should search carefully before applying for a patent. ; Have your ideas been realized by others, and have patents appeared in the databases of major patent offices around the world without knowing it? Patent research and application should not be lucky. According to incomplete statistics, countries lose the value of research topics because they have not consulted patent documents, resulting in billions of losses every year and even more indirect losses. During the Seventh Five-Year Plan period in China, about two-thirds of the nearly 10,000 topics of mass enterprises were repeated studies. Therefore, patent retrieval plays an important role in the growth of enterprises and the saving and improvement of global productivity. Patent retrieval has become a bridge between patentees and enterprises, and has made immortal contributions to the promotion of patent transformation. The patentee only needs to provide any one of the patent name, patentee's name and patent number. Enterprises can query the authenticity and legal status of the patent through patent search.
