The RCTT information portal contains a practical guide to patent search, prepared by GreyB Services. The publication covers methods for working with three leading free patent databases - USPTO (US), Patentscope (WIPO), and Espacenet (European Patent Office) - which together contain over 160 million patent documents.

This guide will be useful for employees of organizations involved in the transfer and commercialization of inventions, as well as inventors and researchers, when conducting prior art analysis and patent monitoring.
