Patents 101: Staff and Faculty Training In-Person

     

Come join us for a free seminar presented by the USPTO's Neil Massong and Tiffany Mair and hosted by the UNR Libraries. This seminar is for library staff and professionals from around the area interested in learning the basics about patents and how to search for them. 

The event will be held on December 6, 2017 at the Matthewson IGT Knowledge Center in room 414.

*Registration is required and can be completed below.

There are many reasons users may want to search existing patents and trademarks. They may want to search to see if their invention has already been registered. They may want a complete copy of the drawings and specifications of something currently protected under a patent. Researches may want to find historical patents as primary documents. Users may also wish to search in order to find out what type of research is being done by certain companies or individual inventors. Whatever their reasons, these workshops will provide you an opportunity to learn to how to help users find the critical intellectual property they need. 

The schedule is as follows:

1:30pm - 3:00pm: Answering Commonly Asked Patent Questions

3:00-3:15: Break

3:15pm - 4:55pm: 7 Step Strategy for Preliminary Patent Searching Using Espacenet
