Drawings in
the patent specification are merely reference and auxiliary positions to
understand the invention. The detailed description of the invention and claims
are the most important, and the drawings are only reference materials, so they
are not essential elements that must be submitted. However, it is often
difficult to understand an invention without drawings. Even if a specific
technology is described in as much detail as possible in writing, reading the
article and understanding what the technology is will be different for each.
However, if you show a picture or photo along with such a detailed explanation,
everyone will be able to associate the same image. This is the role of the
drawing in the patent specification. It helps to understand the contents of the
invention better, more easily and clearly by supplementing and explaining the
contents of the patent claims while visually representing the contents of the
invention written in writing. Therefore, the drawing of a patent specification
serves as a description of rights for the applicant (patentee), the subject of
examination and judgment for the examiner/judge, and the role of technical
literature for a third party.

Drawing Text Search is that searches for 'texts on the drawing' containing
technical keywords. Patent documents contain a lot of important technical information
even in the drawings themselves. There had been a lot of demands for searching
texts, number, codes or symbol inserted in the drawings from practitioners.
Drawing Text search enables drawing-oriented patent review and is currently
provided for the US, Japan, and Korea data.

From a keyword
search, you can get the results for major IPC, first applicants, status info.,
filing date, core keywords of the corresponding technology in a graph. Search
results also can be listed based on description and drawings together or
drawings only.
Let’s take a
look what’s special about the Drawing Texts Search.
