Prior art searches in catalysis come with unique challenges:
- Complex Terminology: The field of catalysis involves complex and specialized terminology, making it difficult to identify all relevant prior art. - Volume of Information: The vast amount of scientific literature and patents can be overwhelming to sift through. - Language Barriers: Important prior art might be published in languages other than English, requiring translation. - Evolving Technology: Catalysis is a rapidly evolving field, and new discoveries can quickly render recent prior art obsolete.
