Best Practices for Patent Searching in Engineering Technologies
Dominic DeMarco (BIO)
Managing Director of DeMarcoIP
This class builds upon prior PIUG presentations in the Fundamentals series, but may also be attended as a stand-alone presentation. The target audience should have one to thirty years of experience and come in with an open mind.
There is no set “way” to perform a patent search in the engineering space. This presentation will help patent information professionals utilize their own personal adaptive toolbox to maximize the opportunity to locate particularly relevant art and minimize the chances of screwing up. Experience is the greatest teacher in our field and learning from Dominic’s two decades of experience should hopefully allow all attendees to skip a few years of the learning curve.
This presentation will be all new material for 2022 and has been rebuilt from the ashes of the last Engineering session taught pre-Covid. We will energetically cover all engineering disciplines with an emphasis on teaching participants to think creatively to solve their own patent search problems.
