Patent Pulse allows the user to add their own information to patents, and therefore add value to the classical patent data available in databases.

Information can be added in 3 different ways:

1. Flag: Icon to visually identify patents
2. Comment/Discussion: Free text writing 
3. Tags: Keywords / group of keywords

When viewing a patent, click on the zone between Number / Title and information Tabs, or directly insert your Tags into to area.

Each comment/discussion entry is identified by Date/time and user name. It can be used by different users if the patent is shared. See SHARE / COLLABORATE help section.

Information can be added from several other menus.

• Directly from a list of results (in that case please note that we recommend saving your query first in a folder)

• Add information to several patents at the same time
• • Select a Query or a PatentPulse list
  • Select the patents for which information must be added
  • A new window appears at the bottom of the screen
  • Add Flag, Comment/Discussion or Tags
  • Post comment (Flag and Tags are saved automatically)

NOTE 1: When information is added to patents, this information is automatically included in the report: List of Patents. (See REPORTS AND EXPORTS Help section).

NOTE 2: When Tags are added to patents, Tags are automatically included into the Statistical Analysis available fields.  (See STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Help section).
