I need to perform a detailed patent search using the USPTO Patent Public Search tool. What are the key advantages of using 'Advanced search' over 'Basic search'? Additionally, I want to understand how to combine search terms effectively; can you find a guide that explains how to use search operators? Finally, if I find relevant patents, how can I export my search results to a CSV file?
Navigate to 'https://ppubs.uspto.gov/pubwebapp/static/pages/landing.html'. Identify the key advantages of 'Advanced search' as described on the landing page. Click on the 'Quick reference guides' link under 'Training materials'. Locate and identify the guide that explains how to use search operators. Return to the main Patent Public Search landing page. Identify the resources that explain how to export search results to a CSV file.
The agent successfully navigates to 'https://ppubs.uspto.gov/pubwebapp/static/pages/landing.html'. The agent states that 'Advanced search' offers 'full query options' and the ability to 'further filter a patent search by database or organize documents through tagging' as key advantages. The agent successfully navigates to the 'Quick reference guides' page. The agent identifies 'Patent-Public-Search-Operators-QRG.pdf' (or similar, if the name changes) as the guide explaining search operators, or describes how to find information on operators. The agent states that information on exporting search results to a CSV file can be found in the 'Patent-Public-Search-Search-results-QRG.pdf' and the 'export search results FAQ'.
