Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

One of the very first steps before writing or submitting a patent is searching for any similar patents already registered. This step is crucial because if any similar patent exists, the new patent has to be a specific percentage different to be considered a new invention otherwise it will be rejected and valuable time and money will have been wasted. In this chapter some recommendations are made to help you search for patents already registered either for a specific country or internationally.
