While patent rights are awarded to inventors, technology professionals often have little or no training in patents.
One recommended way to learn about the patent system is by starting at the beginning and develop patent searching skills. A new workbook, Keyword Patent Searching Online, not only introduces the patent system, but also teaches advanced keyword patent searching techniques in a concise, completely original, and highly readable format.
The workbook presents a new approach to patent searching using keywords only to obtain professional-quality search results. The workbook makes a compelling case that searching for patents online with keywords and free databases (the USPTO and the EPO) is now the best way to do patentability searches.
In addition to an overview of the patent system, the workbook features four inventions using basic technologies for practice. Step-by-step search solutions are provided that show how each patent is located. For more information, see
