Abstract
There are now several databases which can be used to search for Indian patent information, including IPAIRS (Indian Patent Information Retrieval System), which is the official and free searching tool. This paper explores both the completeness of the patent coverage and also the accuracy of the information available in three subscription-based databases and IPAIRS. The results of our studies were encouraging, with accurate bibliographic information being retrieved and the data coverage of the databases showing increasing consistency over time.
