PROs
• Good (English) Search Interface
• Offers search in titles not available in multinational databases (utility
models + designs)
• Export Documents (but: not in table format, which makes it difficult to
use for patent analysis)
CONs
• Search with Spanish keywords only
• No machine translation available (alternative: copy paste to the google
translator)
