Patents include drawings, and descriptions allowing those “skilled in the art” to recreate inventions
Avoid re-inventing the wheel
Unique insights into technology developments
Standardised documents for easy review

4. Contents of a Patent Document

Searchable and trackable both Backwards & Forwards
Can be used to track development of technology
Can be used to identify threats – Related technology to be opposed
Also for Opportunities – Licensing & commercialisation
Examiner Citations Classified based on Relevance

19. Citation categories Category
Meaning (in search reports established for a European patent application, or in the European Patent Register) A
Technological background. Used for a document representing "state of the art not [regarded as] prejudicial to the novelty or inventive step of the claimed invention. D
Document cited in the application i.e. cited by the applicant itself. E
Potentially conflicting patent documents, i.e. document "bearing a filing or priority date earlier than the filing date of the application searched ... but published later than that date and the content of which would constitute prior art relevant to novelty."  I
This category is not used in search reports but in the European Patent Register for a single "X" document "particularly relevant for reasons of inventive step". See category X. L
Documents cited for other reasons (than the other codes). For example, if an examiner "considers that a publication, although undated, is highly relevant to the invention and can therefore be considered to be of interest to the applicant or third parties, he may choose to cite the publication in the search report as an "L" document. The search report and the written opinion should explain why this document was cited." O
Non-written disclosure. P
Intermediate documents, i.e. "[documents] published on dates falling between the date of filing of the application being examined and the date of priority claimed, or the earliest priority if there is more than one. Such a document may be relevant if the claimed priority is not valid. T
Documents relating to the theory or principle underlying the invention. X
Highest possible level of relevance. In search reports, "Category "X" is applicable where a document is such that when taken alone, a claimed invention cannot be considered novel or cannot be considered to involve an inventive step." "In September 2011, the EPO started differentiating internally between two types of "X" citation. This differentiation [is not] visible in search reports, but can be found in the European Patent Register..." "For citations coming from search reports published after 28 September 2011:"X" indicates that a single document is particularly relevant for reasons of novelty
"I" indicates that a single document is particularly relevant for reasons of inventive step – in the written search report this continues to appear as "X"" Y
Document particularly relevant if combined with another "Y" document.
