Units searching? No longer a pain in the PUM
Let's talk about why searching and understanding properties, units, and measurements (PUM) in patents is like having the ultimate cheat code, especially when you're diving into the patent search game.
I know what you are all thinking but stop burying your head in the sand, it’s not as bad as it sounds… I promise.
So, here’s the 411 and all you need to know…
Sifting Like a Pro: Imagine you're on a treasure hunt, and you've got this super cool map with secret symbols. That's properties, units, and measurements. They help you filter out the mind numbing, soul sucking stuff and zero in on the golden nuggets.
Dodging Red Herrings: Skipping the PUM can lead you down some wild goose chases. Ever thought you found the juiciest burger restaurant, only to realise it was a vegan cafe? Yeah, it's like that in the patent world too.
Sniffing Out Originality: So, you've got this genius idea, right? Well understanding PUM can tell you if it's truly one-of-a-kind or if someone beat you to the punch. No one wants to be the second Elvis impersonator…
Giving Your Brain a Workout: Think of properties and measurements as your brain's personal trainer. They push you to think deeper, helping you figure out if your idea has the potential to be the next big thing or if it's just another me-too.
Sparking Your Creative Fire: Have you ever read a patent and thought to yourself "What if they added lasers to this thing?" Bingo! Understanding PUM is like pouring fuel on your creative spark. Ideas start popping like popcorn (sweet… not salty of course!)
Cracking the Patent Code: Patents can sound like aliens talking sometimes. You might not be as smart as Elonggg Musk, but if you're the one who knows the secret handshake (PUM), you're the VIP at the martian party.
So, believe me when I say that understanding PUM within patents isn't just a fancy trick, it's a time saving magic wand. It streamlines your search, helps you dodge irrelevant results, and empowers you to discover valuable patents with ease. By embracing these specifics, you're on the fast track to patent search success.
That wasn’t that bad, was it? This is only my opinion but tell me what your thoughts are and let’s discuss this together!
