In principle, published patent literatures and non-patent literatures are available up to the present.
It is possible to determine the term in accordance with the technical field and the technical content.
3. Search Procedure
After the careful review on the technical content search strategies for each database are drawn up to narrow the final number of search results to from around 1,000 to 5,000 references.
Then full texts of the hit references are carefully investigated and references closely related with the object of the search will be reported as attached references.
4. Reporting Style
We will locate at least one patent, utility model, or non-patent reference and report it together with the search strategies to be used in the search and the copies of the located references.
・Report only the degree of similarity to the object of the search
・Report with brief comments comparing with the object of the search
*Reporting in a customized format is also available.
