Literature and Patent Searching
The Coatings Technology Centre holds the PRA World Coatings Library, which is a superb base on which to build a prior art knowledge search. Each week a broad range of coatings relevant journals are scanned and input into Paint Titles, prior to monthly abstracting into the World Surface Coatings Abstract (WSCA) database.
Along with these tools and other internet databases we have the expertise to interrogate and produce relevant information searches for you, saving valuable time and discovering otherwise difficult to retrieve information.
