Patent Information Specialist
The collection and retrieval of patent publications is a critical component of a company’s intellectual property strategy and, quite suitably, becomes work done by a specialist. Within many organisations, patent information specialists have the responsibility for determining how patent information is best made available and how it is best used within their organisations in a strategic manner.
In addition to technical literature, books and conferences / seminars, patents are a very important source of information for managers, scientists and technicians involved in research, development, and in bringing forward new products and processes. Indeed 80% of what is published in patents is not published elsewhere.
Successful innovation is thus inseparable from the proper use of patent information, both concerning the legal-patent aspects as well as the technical- scientific aspects of the innovation process. However, the use of patent information is often far from optimal for the following reasons:
- The lack of knowledge with the material, on one hand with the scope/meaning of the protection rights and, on the other hand, with the accessibility and retrievability of necessary information
- Patent accessibility is very specific and deviates substantially from other kinds of publications
- The technical-legal language in patent publications is not aimed generally at disclosing scientific information.
Dutch based GO opleidingen organizes this training program in which these challenges will
be addressed. The training is organised under auspices of Dutch Patent Information User
Group (WON).
Virtual classes will be conducted on weekdays from 9.30 AM to 1.00 PM India time.
Projects, assignments and case study documents will be provided in advance to all participants. Q&A session of 30 minutes at end of each session Two assessment exams will be held at end of the virtual sessions and participants who pass both exams (minimum pass percentage 50) will receive an official certificate, registered with a governing body Stichting Post-HBO in the Netherlands.
Individuals must have at least a bachelor degree in a technical-scientific discipline. During the training there is frequent use of the Internet. Participants are expected to have some experience of this medium.
The PG Diploma program is conducted by a team of international and Indian IP experts and practitioners. Practical knowledge and mentoring are a strong part of this training
All our team of trainers, mentors and experts will be drawn from one of the following domains:
