Just a reminder of only a few ( 4) business days left to register and attend the Patent search resource- Innography from DIALOG presentation August 18th, in the FLICC/FEDLINK training room. Thanks, Jim From: Oliver, James Sent: Monday, July 19, 2010 9:58 AM To: [log in to unmask]; [log in to unmask]; LC REFERENCE STAFF Subject: Innography from DIALOG- Presentation- Wed. 8/18- Onsite and/webinar Harvesting Secrets from Patents Using Innography from Dialog If you're looking for information on companies, people, or technologies, patents are a must-have resource. The publication of a patent application is often the first time that the invention has ever been made known, giving great insight into a company's strategic plans. For example, in a review of Google's patents filed between 2001 and 2007 (and only 13% of those were filed with USPTO), we can see that they were planning not only to develop a Google phone, but also services for TV and video games markets and maybe a device to facilitate supermarket shopping with mobile phones! Moreover, studies have shown that 70-90% of the information in patents is never published anywhere else. Please join us for a 90-minute session at which you'll learn how to use patent information to find information on companies and products, trend line technologies, identify experts, and locate licensing opportunities. When: Wednesday, August 18 -- 9:30am - 11:00am EDT with a repeat at 1:30pm - 3:00pm EDT Where: FEDLINK Training Room, LC John Adams Bldg, Rm. LA216.
