Patent Database : A Methodology of Information Retrieval From PDF

Abstract

Patent document holds wealth of information in itself. A brief detail of Indian patent application information is published as eighteen month publication by Indian patent Office, in electronic gazette weekly. To date, a proper database of Indian patents specifically for research determination has not been available, making it complicated for researcher to use this data for measuring any kind of research activities in terms of patents in India. To facilitate this, we constructed a comprehensive patent database which incorporates the information presented in the electronic gazette. This database includes information such as technology class, applicant, inventor, country of origin etc., of the patent submitted. We present the methodology for the creation of this database, its basic features along with its accuracy and reliability in this research paper. Patent based database has been developed and can be used for various innovation researches and activities. KEYWORDS
