This is generalizable to the entire project.
There main objectives of a patent search are the following:
- To generate design ideas
- To not reinvent the wheel
- To gain protection against patent trolls by deliberately not creating new works.
- Patent search via USPTO patent search: http://patft.uspto.gov/
- Get the relevant patents and get the entire patent information via Google's patent search: http://google.com/patents
- Put all patents in the Zotero library: https://www.zotero.org/groups/free_medical_hardware/items/collectionKey/UWVQ29US
- Flag relevant patents: https://www.zotero.org/groups/free_medical_hardware/items/collectionKey/UWVQ29US/tag/Relevant
