    Hello sir
    I am new in IP search industry. I have recently joined an startup company working in IP domain. I have been assigned to work on a landscape report. The thing is that I am very slow in deciding what type of patents I bucket as relevant to our client’s domain. Because the client is looking for some specific features.

    May confusion is whether I should check the relevancy from Abstract and claim only or I consider the description part also?
    If you anyone can clear my confusion regarding this it will be a great help.
    Any kind of suggestions that how I can improve myself in this field are welcomed.

    Thanks in advance
