Begin your search by typing a company, technology or industry into the search box.

Press enter/return or click the magnifying glass or “Search” word on the right hand side of the search box to run your search.

Results are separated into eight categories (Companies, Agreements, Patents, Patent Assignments, New, Patent Court Cases, Trademarks, and Trademark Assignments), with the number of results in parentheses.

“New Search” clears the search box and any results in preparation for a new query.

“Advanced Search” provides a unique capability for each tab in which multiple fields can be populated to provide for a customized search. NOTE: the results presented are isolated under the tab in which the customized search is executed (for example, an Advanced Search under Patents will only yield results under the Patents tab and none under any of the other tabs.)   

“Save” allows a search to be saved for future use (Where? How to execute a saved search?)  If If the “Create automatic alert” checkbox is selected, the user will be prompted to pick how often alerts related to the keyword will be sent via email (Daily, Weekly, Bi-Weekly, or Monthly).  After the save is completed, the button changes from “Save” to “Saved”.
