Every day we can see raising of new information resources EspaceNet, PatentScope, Global Brand Database, National IPOs etc.
But how many users of IP information services answering to itself on questions above.
How many patent or trademark search reports contains probability assessment of results.
In other words, customer never asking int suppliers on quality of product?
Several brief facts:
Country coverage of EspaceNet and PatentScope differs on about 30%, whereas Global Brand Database or TMView near about 50%.
Number of records by country in these databases may vary from 0.05% (EM) to 50% (Japan), with average deviation 1-5%.

Ask you attorney or patent searcher on facts above. I am very anxious to hear these answers.
