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:
“There was a time when the average reader read a novel simply for the moral he could get out of it, and however naïve that may have been, it was a good deal less naïve than some of the limited objectives he has now. Today novels are considered to be entirely concerned with the social or economic or psychological forces that they will by necessity exhibit, or with those details of daily life that are for the good novelist only means to some deeper end.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
