Presenter: Nigel Clarke, European Patent Office

Abstract:
Intelligence from Information

Knowledge is a powerful thing.  Intelligence is the ability to apply knowledge to achieve actionable results.  Knowledge comes from understanding information, and information is generated when data are codified.

This workshop will show you how the EPO's extensive patent data and comprehensive patent information, collected from multiple sources, worldwide, can deliver you the knowledge and intelligence to achieve the actionable results you need.

Actions need to be dynamic, and the workshop will also show you how to follow developments; publications, legal status, and even anticipate applicant behaviour, in a continuous way.

The session will include publication, legal status, citation, file wrapper, and classification data from Espacenet, the European Patent Register and the new Global Dossier service.  We will use these to flesh out historic, contemporary, and just-breaking patent stories.
