The individual search fields can be linked by the Boolean operators "AND", "OR" and "NOT".
If several search terms are entered within one search field, they are automatically linked by the "AND" operator.
Furthermore, there is a function to bracket search terms.
Example: You are looking for patents of the joint owners Hans Meier and Max Huber from the application year 2005. The patents are to contain the catchwords "Bolzen" or "Schraube" (bolt or screw).
Enter:
For the search field displayed, select "Type of IP right" and "Patent" from the drop-down lists. Use the + button to open a second input field.
Select "Applicant/owner" for this field and enter "Hans Meier".
To the left of the input fields there is a drop-down list with Boolean operators. The AND operation is set by default.
Since you also want to search for "Max Huber" and limit the patents to the application period 2005, you must now enclose the search string by brackets.
To enclose your query in brackets, click on the () button and then add another field with the + button. Again, select "Applicant/owner" and enter "Max Huber". For the application date, click on the + button again, then select "Application date" from the drop-down list and enter j-2005 in this search field.
(By clicking the + button you can create further input fields. These are all enclosed in the brackets).
To enter the catchwords "Bolzen" or "Schraube" (bolt or screw), select the + button located below the bracketed query block, select "Title" form the dropdown list and enter the word "Bolzen". Since you want to search for "Schraube" as well, you must click the () button and the + button again, again select "Title" and enter "Schraube". Click "OR" in the drop-down list for the Boolean operators and start search.

For clarification, here is the search query as it appears above the possible result list:
Search query: SART=patent AND (INH = "hans" (L) "meier" AND INH = "max" (L) "huber" AND AT=j-2005) AND ((TI = "bolzen" OR TIEZ = "bolzen" OR TIGZ = "bolzen") OR (TI = "schraube" OR TIEZ = "schraube" OR TIGZ = "schraube"))
