While patent rights are awarded to inventors, inventors often have little training concerning patents.
One recommended way to learn about the patent system is by developing patent search skills. A new workbook, Keyword Patent Searching - Online, introduces the patent system. This new book is completely original and teaches advanced keyword patent searching techniques in a concise and highly-readable format.
In addition to an overview of the patent system, the workbook features four inventions using basic technologies to be used for practice. Step-by-step search solutions are provided that show how each patent is located.
The workbook represents a new approach to patent searching using keywords only to obtain professional-quality search results. The book makes a compelling case that searching for U.S. and international patents online with keywords and free databases (the USPTO and the EPO) is the best way for searching patentability.
