Best Practices for Searching Chemical Patent Information

John Zabilski (BIO)

Chair, PIUG Education Committee

Chemistry is called the central science since it connects physical sciences with life sciences and applied sciences such as medicine and engineering. As such it provides a challenging area to search comprehensively without considering multiple techniques and approaches. Discover resources and techniques particularly suited to cross boundaries and database connections to include pharmaceutical and material applications.

This session covers the fundamentals necessary to search for chemical related information and builds on that information to extend searching into multidisciplinary areas through targeted case studies. Learn best practices in this area taught and used by major organizations and global patent offices and fill in gaps in your practical knowledge to excel in producing comprehensive retrieval of chemical intellectual property.
