The "Patentability Training Course" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This one-day course focuses on the criteria and principles of establishing patentability of an invention through searching the literature.

Patent examiners review patent applications to determine whether the claimed invention meets the established patentability criteria of novelty, non-obviousness and industrial applicability. So it's important to be prepared by performing your own patent searches before filing a priority patent application.

Getting information early can enhance your chances of obtaining valid and enforceable patents. The course has an emphasis on European and US practice.

This course is for all those involved with the patent filing process, and in particular IP analysts, patent engineers, patent agents, patent attorneys and other patent and IP professionals. Attend this course to learn how to navigate the complexities of patent searching!

The expert trainer will take you through the principles of patentability searching and how to deal with specific challenges along the way, such as broadening and narrowing your search. Prior art searching may involve searching patents, scientific, medical, technical literature and other general information on the internet.
