Personal name retrieval takes the name of the known patentee, patent assignee, patent applicant or inventor as the retrieval field, and the retrieval result is all patent information related to the name.

Search type:

1, fact retrieval

This is based on facts, and some basic facts need to be found in the literature. This requires not only to find out the materials that record these facts, but also to analyze and compare them and make a positive answer. Therefore, fact retrieval is also translated into event retrieval, which belongs to the category of data retrieval.

2. Information retrieval

This is to retrieve information and find out the special data contained in the literature, including statistical data, calculation formulas, charts, physical data, chemical material data and so on. The retrieval results are highly concentrated data and information that can be directly used.
