Contributed by Elaine Cheeseman, & Cynthia Yang, June 2002 Rembrandts in the Attic: Unlocking the Hidden Value of Patents Contributed by Elaine Cheeseman & Cynthia Yang, June 2002 British Patents of Invention, 1617-1977: A Guide for Researchers This is the first practical guide for those researching the patent system or looking for patents by name, subject or number. This unique guide explains how researchers can use patents as a source of historical information. Covering the British patent system from 1617-1977 Patents Act, the guide is an invaluable resource for those researching the history of science and technology or looking for information on the people behind inventions. Books: 1997Patent Strategies for Business, 3rd Edition The book reorganizes patent law from the client-oriented view that "patents are business tools". Cutting edge legal developments are Contributed by Stephen C. Glazier 1997 Federal Circuit Yearbook The Practising Law Institute is a nonprofit organization that organizes seminars and conferences throughout the year, and publishes a variety of books on legal issues. The PLI can be reached at: PLI, 810 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY, 10019, 212-824-7500, 800-321-0093 (orders). The PLI is mostly for lawyers, and their publications are a tad pricey. They recently published a book, Federal Circuit Yearbook 1997, which reviews every patent decision published by the Federal Circuit in 1996. The book is written by Alex Chartove, a partner in the Washington firm of Loeb & Loeb, and is available from the PLI for $89.25. Each review averages three pages, and are well written, to the extent that non-lawyers, students and inventors can read and understand the materials. The book is 400 pages long, and makes a good counterpart to the decisions published in USPQ, where the meaning can sometimes be lost in the jargon and citations. The reviews in this book are nice summaries. There are fifteen chapters, each reviewing 3 to 7 cases, organized as follows, with an example of a case title with brief summary: Like other PLI books, I can definitely recommend this book to law firms and corporations as part of their legal libraries, and comment that I wish PLI weren't so expensive so that laymen and independent inventors can purchase them and benefit. A classic example is Landis' book on claim drafting, which is way too expensive given its content. "The Value of International Patent Rights" This paper estimates the value of patent rights held among a large sample of countries by examining the application decisions of inventors. The same methods can be applied to value the portfolios of individual firms. Books: 1996Guide to Patent Expiries, 2nd. edition Contributed by Stephen Adams In addition to "Global Patent Sources", Derwent also produces the companion "Guide to Patent Expiries" (A365/$100). This provides a single source of all the information needed to calculate expiry dates for patents issued by 112 authorities. The second edition (published March 1996) includes all of the various changes in patent law implemented since the Guide was first published in 1995. A Web version of the 1996 edition is maintained on the Derwent Web site and is regularly updated. Each copy of the Guide comes with a password for accessing the Web version so that you can easily monitor changes for the various patenting authorities covered. Contributed by Breda Corish Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Fourth Edition v.18 The first thing that comes to my mind is the Kirk-Othmer chapter written by Edlyn Simmons and Stu Kaback. I used this chapter when I first started searching and found it to be a good source of basic patent searching. It was updated in 1996. It also has 39 references and several general references. Compliments to Edlyn S. Simmons and Stuart M. Kaback for an excellent and informative section in Patents, Literature (pg 102-155) in K & O Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology (April 1996) Highly recommended reading Online Searching: A Scientist's Perspective A Guide For The Chemical And Life Sciences A very good book, highly recommend. See TOC for description of structure searching in Part 2 I believe the book Andy Berks is thinking of is "Online Searching: a Scientist's Perspective. A Guide for the Chemical and Life Sciences," Damon D. Ridley, 1966, J. Wiley & Sons. The ACS connection is that Ken Ostrum has been plugging the book at STN User's meetings and even giving some copies away as door prizes (I've also heard that Ridley is now and STN rep. in Austalia). I reviewed the book in JCICS (vol. 37, number 3, p. 628, 1997). I like Damon D. Ridley's book... A table of contents is available from amazon.com, see http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0471965219/6964-2866036-224542. It's only about searching on STN, and is even now a little bit dated, but still pretty good. Of course, lots & lots of training materials are available from the various vendors, usually free. Books: 1995Global Patent Sources, Patents Manual 1 Contributed by Madeline Douglass ...Derwent has a book on the subject a good source of recent changes in national patent law or intellectual property law more generally, across the world, "Global Patent Sources," that summarizes the patent law for the 40 issuing authorities that they cover. There are also large sections on international patent law considerations, i.e., the priority rules, classification schemes, international filing authorities, etc., and a good overview of the Derwent indexing system. I think this a good reference work for people working in patent info to own. I think the book costs $50. Patent Fundamentals for Scientists and Engineers Contributed by Madeline Douglass Books: 1993Patents A Canadian compendium of law and practise For a Canadian perspective on patent law...This was the first recommended text I picked up and devoured on my entry into searching. Books: 1992Guide to Official Industrial Property Publications An excellent compilation for major countries showing publication sequences and documentation. Introduction to Patents Information, 2nd. edition. Contributed by Stephen Adams, Zeneca Agrochemicals "Patents" Contributed by Edlyn Simmons Books: 1991Chemical Information Sources Contributed by Madeline Douglass Online patents, trade marks and service marks databases, 4th. edition Contributed by Stephen Adams Patent Information from Chemical Abstracts Service - coverage and content Good review of selection and indexing policy. Understanding Chemical Patents I looked at the bibliography section, and I was alarmed to see that it includes the 1978 edition of John Maynard's book. It's been updated... Books: 1990Intellectual Property Rights in Science, Technology, and Economic Performance: International Comparisons A reasonably balanced look at the role of IPRs in national economic performance. Brown is at NSF; she's not an economist. Strengthening Protection of Intellectual Property in Developing Countries: A Survey of the Literature A survey of economic literature incorporating some views that are more sympathetic to the position of the developing world. Books: Pre-1990Patent Law for the Nonlawyer: A Guide for The Engineer, Technologist, and Manager One book that we have used a lot... R&D, Patents and Productivity A classic collection of the use of patents to estimate returns to research and the contribution of R&D to productivity. Worterbuch der Patentpraxis Dictionary of patent practice You may ... need one or more language dictionaries covering technical vocabulary ; I don't know of many specialising in the patent area, but Worterbuch der Patentpraxis is an acceptable German one Understanding Chemical Patents Contributed by Madeline Douglass Annual Reports in Medicinal Chemistry, v.22 In addition to references others have mentioned, I have often referred back to a brief chapter published in Annual Reports in Medicinal Chemistry a while back entitled "Patents in Medicinal Chemistry" ( v22, authored by P.W. Grubb, p330-352.). Development and Use of Patent Classification Systems A good reference for the U.S. patent classification system. Although the title may lead you to believe that it is about systems in general, it only covers the U.S. system.
