Important results from the project
Search-a-patent has developed a global database for unpublished patent searches where the search results are stored, without revealing the client´s innovations and moving prior art to real time. The goal has been to develop a smart algorithm that saves the search results and search reports, and an API solution that can be integrated into existing patent search databases and different patent expert companies. This helps patent experts during the search process by improving search results and search quality.
Expected long term effects
The result meets all expectations on the database.
Approach and implementation
The project plan has three parts: 1: Planning, prioritizing and layout. 2: Programming, testing. 3: Development of a complete database with customization options and controls. Everything has worked out according to plan.
