The Regenesys patents above were explored on the Internet using the Intellectual Property Network, and with the search words National Power and Ralph Zito as obtained verbally at a Grove Symposium. 

As is often the case in periods of economic downturn, the rate of generation of intellectual property has in fact increased we are now seeing more than S 000 US patent filings of interest evoy year in the silicones business. If we broaden the search to include silicon metal and inorganic silicate materials, the figures triple, as shown in Fig. 1. 

There is always an additional burden on scientists to assure that in their pursuit of novelty in creating a value for their company, they must review the vast databases of patents involved. It is for this reason that in describing the overall drug development scene, an in-depth discussion of what constitutes intellectual property, how to evaluate it, and search for new ideas is presented in a separate chapter. 

Second to the United States Patent Office, the largest database is accessed through the European Patent Office, where one should conduct a similar classification search as suggested previously for the United States Patent and Trademark Office (2). The World Intellectual Property Organization (3) offers many useful features including complete details of the Patent Cooperative Treaty and its gazette. The Canadian Patent Office can be reached at the website mentioned in Ref. 4. 

Delphion (formerly IBM Intellectual Property database Ref. 8) allows for more in-depth search of patents and access to many consolidated databases. It is a low-cost solution.

To determine this, huge amounts of information must be searched.
