Search Techniques

Search Type	Example Syntax	Description
Boolean	solar OR wind	Use AND, OR and NOT to find different combination of words.
Nesting/ Brackets	((solar OR wind) AND energy)	The matter and can change significantly change the results.
Proximity	("battery technology"~3)	Find words in close proximity to each other eg. "Battery" and "technology" within 3 words of each other.
Exact Match	"wireless charging device"	Exact phrase search.
Field-Specific	abstract:(solar OR wind)	Search specific fields like title, abstract, or claims.

Title	title:(IVF sperm)	Title of invention
Abstract	abstract:(IVF sperm)	A brief overview of the invention, summarizing its purpose and core functionality
Claims	claim:(IVF sperm)	The legally binding portion, defining the scope and novelty of the invention
Patent Number	Country ID ids:(CA 2326915 A1) Lens ID ids:(003-853-151-488-01X)	A unique identifier for the patent, useful for reference.

Date-Related Searchs

Field to be searched	Syntax	Contents
Priority date	earliest_priority_claim_date:(2009-05-22) earliest_priority_claim_date:([2009-05-22 TO 2010-05-22])	The priority date is the earliest date someone can claim rights to their invention. Think of it as the starting line for proving your idea was first. This date determines what earlier inventions (prior art) could challenge your patent.
Application/Filing Date	application_reference.date:(2009-05-22) application_reference.date:([2009-05-22 TO 2010-05-22])	The date you submit your patent application to a country’s patent office. It starts the official patent process in that country. If it’s your first filing, this will also be your priority date.
Publication date	date_published:(2009-05-22) date_published:([2009-05-22 TO 2010-05-22])	The publication date is when your patent application is made public by the patent office. This usually happens 18 months after the application date, allowing others to see what you’re trying to patent.
Grant date	legal_status.grant_date:(2009-05-22) legal_status.grant_date:([2009-05-22 TO 2010-05-22])	The date your patent application is approved and becomes a legally enforceable patent. From this point, you can stop others from using your invention without permission.

Appendix 1: Search Techniques - details

Booleans Using AND/OR: "Combine search terms with AND to narrow results or OR to broaden them	Example: · title:(solar OR wind) returns results containing both 'solar' or 'wind'."
Default “AND” Any terms in brackets without a boolean between them is using AND as a default	Example: · inventor.name:(Tyler William Aalbers) is actually searching inventor.name:(Tyler AND William AND Aalbers)
Exact Match Search Explained An exact match search uses quotes ("") to find words in the exact order specified. For example: · "wireless charging device" This finds results with all the words in this exact order—ideal for finding specific phrases exactly as written.	Example: To search all text: · "wireless charging device" To search specifically in the abstract: · abstract:("wireless charging device") · This returns only patents where "wireless charging device" appears in the abstract, helping you narrow down to highly relevant matches.
Nesting Nested Searches: Use brackets to ensure the search is done in the way you want.	Example: · abstract:((solar OR wind) AND energy)
Proximity SearchA proximity search finds words that are close to each other but not necessarily in the exact order or right next to each other. For example: · (("absorb hydrogen sulfide"~5) OR ("capture hydrogen sulfide"~5)) This means you want "absorb" or "capture" within 5 words of "hydrogen sulfide." It helps you find results where the terms are closely linked, but not far apart like when using AND or too exact like with quotes ("")	Example: · ("battery technology"~3) In this case, you are looking for "battery" and "technology" to be within 3 words of each other. It won’t show results where "battery" and "technology" are too far apart, like in different sentences or paragraphs, ensuring the connection between them is relevant.

Nesting – it matters
