Randomized clinical trials of single - herb interventions are relatively easy to justify its pharmacological effect. However, phytotherapy is the natural therapy, using lifestyle advice, nutrition and individually use of the combination of herbs, for the restoring the homeostasis. Now the clinical trial evaluated, this approach is useful in a wide range of conditions, Central nervous system, Hepatoprotective, mental disorder including chronic disease, associated with the human being.

Every country  has its own patent right. As India is growing very rapidly in pharmaceutical sector, there is a need of information about the patent search. Patent search has to be done for both granted patents and published patents as well as for  research publications. There are number of databases are available to do patent search which includes ..
(1) Free databases like google patents, USPTO, EPO, Free patents online etc.
(2) Paid databases like scifinder, micropat, patent insight pro etc.
Each databases have its own merits and demerits. Hear we have included statements  and all databases regarding patent search also how to file a patent in more than one country by single patent application.

Abstract
A simple, specific, sensitive, rapid, precise and economical high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for the estimation of Olmesartan medoxomil (OLM) and Atorvastatin calcium (ATC) in tablet dosage form by using acetonitrile- phosphate buffer pH 3.0 (40:60 v/v) as a solvent system. The method was carried out on a Phenomenex Gemini C18 (15 cm x 4.6 mm i.d., 5µm particle size) column, at flow rate 0.9 mL/min. Detection was carried out at 252 nm. The retention time of OLM and ATC was 3.19 and 4.63 min, respectively. The two drugs follow Beer-Lambert’s law over the concentration range of 8 – 40 µg/mL for OLM and 4 – 20 µg/mL for ATC. Validation of proposed method was carried out for its accuracy, precision, specificity and ruggedness according to ICH guidelines. The proposed method can be successfully applied in routine work for the determination of Olmesartan medoxomil and Atorvastatin calcium in combined dosage form.
