Most civilized countries award patent rights to inventors. Yet, IT professionals have little training in patents. A logical way to learn about the patent system is at the beginning of the process – by learning patent searching skills. A new book – Keyword Patent Searching Techniques – not only introduces the patent system, but also teaches advanced keyword patent searching techniques – in a concise and highly readable format. A new approach to patent searching is presented. The book makes a compelling case that patentability searches can be performed online using free online databases (the USPTO and the EPO) using keywords only, providing professional-quality search results. In addition to an overview of the patent system, the workbook features four inventions using basic technologies for the reader to search. Step-by-step search solutions are provided that show how each patent is located. The presentation and layouts are completely original – for more information, see http://www.keypatent.net/. |
