From where students may search for patents/find patents to prepare PSAR reports

In PSAR activity, students are required to do patent search either related to their IDP/UDP/Final year projects or related to their area of interest and submit a report of their work online on PMMS portal.

Every student within a team has to study at least five (5) patents. 

PSAR is individual student’s activity and not a team activity.

Student can study any patent from any patent database related to his/her IDP/UDP and can make Patent Search and Analysis Report on that patent.  

It will be the responsibility of the faculty-guide to ensure that each student (team member) will study the different patents related to their IDP/UDP. No student of the same team/same class has to repeat the same patent as studied by another team member/student of the same project/IDP/UDP or class.

STUDENTS CAN USE ANY FREE/OPEN SOURCE AVAILABLE PATENT DATABASES FOR PATENT SEARCH, few of open source patent databases are as below:
