Workshop Abstract: During this daylong session participants will learn
about the initiation of a patent analysis function at a Fortune 25
company. They will also discover the nuances of Patinformatics, a term
coined to encompass the breadth and depth of available patent analysis
methods. These lessons will be demonstrated through the use of pertinent
examples, case studies and group participation exercises. During the case
studies workshop, attendees can expect to see an example from the start of
the interview process all the way to the delivery and subsequent use of
the analysis work performed. Each example will include detailed
descriptions of the sources, software tools and methods used to accomplish
the result.
Expected Participant Background or pre-requisites: Participants should be
experienced patent searchers who are interested in learning more about
Patinformatics and how to initiate a patent analysis function in their
organizations.

There are various strategies and methods for doing this analysis and
extraction, which we'll show you during this session. The focus will be on
Aureka's IP Management Platform, the latest version of what was previously
known as Aurigin's Aureka Online Services system. You will learn how to:
* Search content within the integrated MicroPatent/Aureka environment
* Cluster the data to uncover common themes/topics and possibly new search
terms to enhance your research
* Create ThemeMaps to get an overall view of the industry and how
different players and technology fit within it
* Run citation analyses against your data set to see the evolution of the
technology and how the competition fits into the picture
* Annotate and collaborate on your results with team members, to truly
build an IP repository for your organization, including both patent and
non-patent data
Join us for this comprehensive overview and find out for yourself why
Aureka is the leading analysis platform from which you can benefit.

This workshop will explore technology sector analysis using multiple forms
of patent analytics including inventor, expiration, licensing,
infringement, competitive and portfolio analysis. Multiple factor
analysis, cross-correlation and relationship mapping strategies that allow
further visualization of the Derwent World Patents Index data will be
shown and discussed.
We will identify the changes in patenting activity over time within the
organization, to see how R&D strategies are shifting from one area to
the next, and to determine whether the technology is driving the company
or if the company is driving the technology - and how to understand the
difference.
The focus of the exercise will be to illustrate how to assist departments
such as R&D, Licensing, General Counsel, IP Legal, CI & BI and
Human Resources in their work. There will be Q&A periods throughout
the session with the intention of making it an interactive analytics
experience.

Title: Value-Added Patent Searching
Workshop host: Magister Ltd.
Registration Fee: $295 for PIUG members who sign up by Feb. 1; $395 for
non-members and late registrants. (PIUG greatly appreciates the generous
donation that will be provided by the workshop host to help fund future
programs and to cover the workshop expenses!)

Workshop Registration Instructions: You must send in a separate
registration form and fee for this workshop; Microsoft
Word Form / PDF
Form.
Abstract: This workshop is particularly designed for searchers with a
limited experience of professional databases, but will also be a useful
summary for the more experienced searcher. The aim is to illustrate the
differences in search results obtained by different search methodologies.
The primary focus will be on subject-matter searching, where we will
examine the effectiveness of raw word-based searching, enhanced text,
classification and proprietary indexing systems when applied to the same
search question, in a case-study approach. The influence of value-added
features for portfolio and family searching, as well as the impact of
database coverage policy, will also be briefly discussed.
Attendees will receive a pack of supporting materials, which can be used
as reference notes.
