This is the \u201cCentury of Technology\u201d. Patents are now seen as an enormous repository of human innovation and knowledge, as well as a class of property that can be owned, traded and leveraged. Intellectual property (IP) equips businesses with an exclusive right, and at the same time prevents illegal usage and\/or infringement of their IP. It is a common practice in R&D centers for an innovator to do a preliminary patent search<\/a> for his invention. However, he may search and find nothing even when there are things that would be found by a professional searcher. The advancement of technology<\/a> through \u201cincremental inventions\u201d has made it a tough job for innovators, and an even tougher job for professional searchers to identify appropriate prior arts in a fixed time frame. But Patent Searching Through Reverse Image Search can make a huge impact which we will see later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies\/Innovators like IBM<\/a>, Google, Samsung<\/a> and Apple, are pushing limits for obtaining Intellectual Property under their name. In the US alone, the year 2015 witnessed 629,647 patent applications which makes it more than 1700+ patent applications filed per day . The US patent office granted 325,979 patents in 2015 which makes it close to 900 grants per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Armed with complete and accurate information about the universe of patents, business leaders can and should leverage patent analysis<\/a> to inform a myriad of business decisions \u2013 such as acquisitions, competitive monitoring, R&D planning, and strategic decision-making. Apple<\/a>, Google and Samsung have already set big examples through their recent lawsuits. In the IP industry, the slightest detail could make the difference in million-dollar lawsuits. Hence it is needless to say that a robust, efficient and quick search mechanism for identifying patents can make a huge difference to businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
