The application number, title, application date, and status will be displayed in the left column and the details like bibliographic data, specification, and status based on the selection of a row in the left column will be displayed in the right column. In addition, there is a limitation to display the number of search records up to 1000 and 25 records per page.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Applicant_Name_Search\"><\/span><strong>Applicant Name Search<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You are allowed to search for patent applications by entering the name of the applicant against the relevant row.
