Workshops – Detailed Descriptions and Registration InformationFiz-Karlsruhe: "The USPTO Genetic Sequence Database, USGENE, on STN"Wednesday, October 10, 2007; 10:00am - Noon Presenter: Robert Austin, FIZ Karlsruhe Inc The USPTO Genetic Sequence Database, USGENE (http://www.fiz-k.com/usgene), was released on STN in July 2007. USGENE is a new resource that encompasses all available nucleotide and amino acid sequences available from relevant USPTO issued (granted) patents and published applications. The database is updated within 7 days of USPTO publication and includes patent sequence dating back to 1982. USGENE brings together several disparate sources of USPTO sequence data with key elements of bibliographic and full-text data to provide a unified platform where patent searchers can seamlessly combine sequence, date, and patent claims text searching. In this session, the methodology and sources for creating USGENE will be outlined, along with examples of how this invaluable resource should be utilized by patent information professionals. The workshop will be of interest to novice, intermediate and expert STN patent sequence searchers. Registration: http://www.stn-international.com/training_center/workshops/usgene_ws.html Fiz-Karlsruhe: "INPADOCDB on STN"Wednesday, October 10, 2007: 1:00pm - 4:00pm Presenter: Terri Dockter, FIZ Karlsruhe Inc Registration: http://www.stn-international.com/training_center/workshops/inpadoc_ws.html INPADOCDB (INternational PAtent DOCumentation DataBase) was released on STN in April 2007, replacing the former INPADOC file, and combines the DOCDB and Inpadoc Legal Status (PRS) Services of the EPO into a single unified database. INPADOCDB contains the bibliographic and family data of patent documents and utility models from 80 patent-issuing organizations, dating back to 1836 and contains more than 63 million patent publications. Bibliographic data in the file are enhanced with abstracts in several languages, patent and non-patent citations, and the original published numbers in addition to the standardized patent numbers. In this workshop you will learn recipes for making efficient use of the various new and enhanced search and display features of INPADOCDB on STN, including how to benefit from FIZ Karlsruhe's value-added editorial input to the database. The workshop will be of interest to novice, intermediate and expert STN patent searchers. GenomeQuest: "Best practices in Sequence Patent Search and Analysis"Wednesday, October 10, 2007; Noon - 2:00pm (lunch served) It's not enough to just have access to biological sequence patent information, it's a matter of saving time and money by implementing a process that optimizes the output. Data sources are scattered and incomplete, search algorithms are difficult to use and unpredictable, result analysis is time-consuming and error prone. We will discuss examples of the methods companies can use to overcome the obstacles associated with searching sequences through the use of a best practices approach. We have implemented this best practice approach inside of our GenomeQuest solution. With GenomeQuest we provide easy access to all relevant sequence databases. We make use of a single, user-friendly, web interface based on search strategies rather than algorithms, thereby enabling the user to quickly create reports with only relevant results.

New enhancements to version 6 will be reviewed. The latter part of the session, beginning at 10:30 AM, will describe best practices useful for making MMS searching and workflow management more efficient. Managing search results from numerous sources, storing search queries and compound number sets, setting up alerts, and analyzing and comparing chemical indexing in patent documents and query results are a few of the topics that will be discussed. Attendees are welcome to attend either part of this workshop or the entire workshop. Perception Partners: "Rapid Automated Patent Analysis to Impress your Managers and Clients"Wednesday, October 10, 2007; 8:00am - noon Registration for this fee-based workshop can be done along with the conference registration. Patent information analysis is conducted for a number of purposes. While some objectives are purely technical or legal in nature, many relate to business issues likely to affect financial and market risk. Patent data specialists are often called upon to present analysis of these issues to managerial decision-makers, not all of who may be aware of (or concerned with) the nuances of thorough patent analysis. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to patent analysis approaches designed to please senior and executive management. Subject matter will be related to extracting and communicating business insights from patent data, and functional focus will center on:
Format will include lecture, demonstration and group activity. By the end of the workshop, takeaways will include new approaches to:

Data Analysis and Visualization: Some case studiesWednesday, October 10, 2007; 9:35am - 10:20am and 3:45pm - 4:30pm Presenter: Don Walter, Ph.D., Training Executive, Pharma Chem Markets Collecting, sorting and analyzing information from the technical and patent literatures to give an unbiased understanding of the scientific and competitive landscapes can be difficult. Each step involves choosing techniques which may skew the answers. Often one approach leads to hypotheses which must be tested with other approaches. In this presentation, we will compare and contrast different approaches to understanding the literature and competitive intelligence on a given question. For example, we will see whether, the patent and technical literatures lead to the same picture of the state of the art; illustrate the use of perhaps little known tools in common applications, as well as some specialized tools; and more. Patents on Thomson PharmaWednesday, October 10, 2007; 10:35am - 11:20pm and 3:05pm - 3:45pm Presenter: Don Walter, Ph.D.,Training Executive, Pharma Chem Markets Patent information in Thomson Pharma comes from many different sources, some familiar and some which may be new to patent searchers. We will summarize and compare the different sources of patent information, and their contexts, in order to learn how to get the most out of them. DWPI Process FlowWednesday, October 10, 2007; 11:20am - 12:00pm and 2:05pm - 2:50pm Presenter: Bob Stembridge, Manager, Customer Relations Derwent World Patents Index (DWPISM) is the most comprehensive database of value-added patent documents published in the world. 1.5 million patent documents are added into the database each year from 41 patent-issuing authorities.
