Go Get Yourself Pen And Paper

Get yourself a pen or pencil and paper. Think of all the words that you can use to describe an invention and write them down. Try to think of words that uniquely describe a certain invention and not words that could describe anything. Try for one word, two words or more to describe an invention.

The words you come up with are the "keywords" that you will be using to patent search for the invention you want to research.
