Therefore, people should attach great importance to the development and utilization of patent information resources. However, it is difficult and arduous for scientific and technical personnel who are not familiar with special cultural relics retrieval methods to find patent documents related to their professional fields among many documents. Therefore, it has become a problem that scientific and technological workers and information service personnel must solve as soon as possible to obtain patent information conveniently and quickly. Nowadays, the construction of information superhighway provides a convenient and quick channel for us to find patent documents. There are abundant patent information resources on the Internet.
