Skip Query for Patent Lists

NLPatent supports browsing our patent database without using a query. This feature allows you to jump straight to a list of patents, where you can then apply filters to generate an exhaustive list of patents that meet your criteria, up to 10,000 results.

This feature is particularly useful for exploring specific patent portfolios, wanting to view the entire scope of what a particular company or group of companies own. 

Using the Skip Query Function to Retrieve Patent Lists

1. Start a New Search

• Begin by clicking on "start a new search".
• This will allow you to access the search filters.

2. Apply Filters for Specific Criteria

• Navigate to the filters section.

  Select the specific criteria you want to filter, which could be:

  • Applicant
  • Current owner
  • Inventor
• Check the corporate family tree to ensure all relevant owners and assignees are included.
• Once everything is correct, click "Apply Filter" in the bottom right part of the window.

3. Execute the Skip Query

• Use the 'skip query' function to retrieve the list of patents.
• The results will be organized by priority date in descending order.

4. Optional: Additional Filtering Options

• If needed, extra filters for specific priority dates or other criteria can be done by going to the filter tab in the top left corner of the screen.

5. Export Results

Once you are satisfied with the filtered results, you can export the entire list or just the saved patents by using the export button.
