Details
The technique proposed by Bessen and Hunt involves conducting a keyword search within the USPTO patent database as follows:
- (("software" in specification) OR ("computer" AND "program" in specification))
- AND (utility patent excluding reissues)
- ANDNOT ("chip" OR "semiconductor" OR "bus" OR "circuit" OR "circuitry" in title)
- ANDNOT ("antigen" OR "antigenic" OR "chromatography" in specification)
An actual query that may be submitted to the USPTO database to retrieve patents granted in 2005 is as follows:
- ISD/(1/1/2005->1/1/2006)
- AND SPEC/(software OR (computer AND program))
- AND APT/1
- ANDNOT TTL/(chip OR semiconductor OR bus OR circuit OR circuitry)
- ANDNOT SPEC/(antigen or antigenic OR chromatography)

Famous quotes containing the word details:
“If my sons are to become the kind of men our daughters would be pleased to live among, attention to domestic details is critical. The hostilities that arise over housework...are crushing the daughters of my generation....Change takes time, but men’s continued obliviousness to home responsibilities is causing women everywhere to expire of trivialities.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
