This page contains tips on the use of fields in your searches. If, after reading this page, you have any unanswered questions, please read the FAQ.
Published Applications are divided into many fields, such as inventor
name. By narrowing your search so
that a document is only counted as a 'Hit' if the term you are
searching for occurs in the
field you specified, you can greatly decrease the likelihood of having
extraneous documents
returned.
This page shows a list of all the available fields (in alphabetical order) information about each, and tips on their use. (A list is also available at the bottom of the Manual Search Page).
