The do-it-yourself patent search is a useful alternative to professional patent analysis particularly
in the context of publicly funded projects where funds for IP activities may be limited. As a case
study, we analysed patents related to the engineering of terpenoid indole alkaloid (TIA)
metabolism in plants. We developed a focused search strategy to remove redundancy and
reduce the workload without missing important and relevant patents. This resulted in the
identification of approximately 50 key patents associated with TIA metabolic engineering in
plants, which could form the basis of a more detailed freedom-to-operate analysis. The structural
elements of this search strategy could easily be transferred to other contexts, making it a useful
generic model for publicly funded research projects
