id=\"USPTO_Patent_Full-Text_and_Image_Database_PatFT\"><\/span><strong>USPTO Patent Full-Text and Image Database (PatFT)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>PatFT<\/strong> database is one of the most essential search resources provided by the USPTO. It allows users to search for full-text and image versions of patents that have already been granted. There are three search options available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Quick Search<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advanced Search<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Publication Number Search<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These options allow professionals to customize their search and find the information they need efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"USPTO_Patent_Application_Full-Text_and_Image_Database_AppFT\"><\/span><strong>USPTO Patent Application Full-Text and Image Database (AppFT)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>AppFT<\/strong> database is another important resource used to find information about patent applications that are still under review. Unlike the <strong>PatFT<\/strong> database, <strong>AppFT<\/strong> is designed for searching pending patents. Users can use the following search options to refine their queries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Quick Search<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advanced Search<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Publication Number Search<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This database is essential for tracking patent applications before they are granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Global_Patent_Search_Network_GPSN\"><\/span><strong>Global Patent Search Network (GPSN)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Global Patent Search Network (GPSN)<\/strong> lets users search the full text of international patents. Initially, the database offers Chinese patent documentation from the State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO). It includes published applications, granted patents, and utility models from 1985 to 2012. The data includes full-text Chinese patents, English translations, and full document images. The database is periodically updated with more years of coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Patent_Application_Information_Retrieval_PAIR\"><\/span><strong>Patent Application Information Retrieval (PAIR)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>PAIR<\/strong> system provides a secure way to retrieve and download information about the status of patent applications. There are two versions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Public PAIR<\/strong> \u2013 Provides access to issued patents and published applications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Private PAIR<\/strong> \u2013 Provides secure, real-time access to pending applications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This tool is crucial for staying up-to-date on the status of patent applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_Search_Facility\"><\/span><strong>Public Search Facility<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>USPTO Public Search Facility<\/strong> in Alexandria, VA, gives public access to patent and trademark information in various formats, including online, microfilm, and print. Trained staff are available to assist users in their searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Patent_and_Trademark_Resource_Centers_PTRCs\"><\/span><strong>Patent and Trademark Resource Centers (PTRCs)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your nearest <strong>Patent and Trademark Resource Center (PTRC)<\/strong> offers local search resources and may provide training in patent search techniques. This is an excellent resource for those looking to enhance their knowledge of patent searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Patent_Official_Gazette\"><\/span><strong>Patent Official Gazette<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Electronic Official Gazette<\/strong> allows users to browse issued patents for the current week. You can search by patent classification or type, such as utility, design, or plant patents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Citation_Document_CCD\"><\/span><strong>Common Citation Document (CCD)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Common Citation Document (CCD)<\/strong> application provides access to up-to-date citation data relating to patent applications from the IP5 Offices. It consolidates prior art cited by all participating offices, allowing users to view citation information on a single page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Search_International_Patent_Offices\"><\/span><strong>Search International Patent Offices<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the <strong>Search International Patent Offices<\/strong> platform, users can access patent databases from various countries, including the European Patent Office, Korean Patent Office, and the State Intellectual Property Office of China (SIPO). This is one of the most effective tools for conducting a comprehensive <strong>USPTO patent search<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Search_Published_Sequences\"><\/span><strong>Search Published Sequences<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Published Sequences<\/strong> website offers Sequence Listings and tables for granted US patents or published US patent applications. This is useful for finding sequences and tables for listed patents or publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Patent_Assignment_Search\"><\/span><strong>Patent Assignment Search<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit the <strong>Assignments on the Web<\/strong> website to search for patent assignments and changes in ownership.
