Decision guidance in the forefront of technical developments
The access to a technical new or further development is generally connected with high costs and long-term commitment of personnel. In the forefront of this strategic decision, hence questions arise like: Is my idea really new? Does it actually pay off? Which patents or samples do my competitors hold?
Qualified evaluation and dissection of already existing patents is essential to make statements hereunto. The device for this purpose is research of patents – in particular in the internet – which can be made by oneself with manageable effort. Thus, the internet research offers a perfect possibility, especially for KMU, to use the enormous potential of knowledge and resolving of the patent archives for one’s own incitements.
In this workshop, skilled experts will show you, how to advance in order to detect the situation of patents in the domain relevant for you. This way, you can reduce the risk of double resp. parallel processing or unconscious patent infringements on the one hand; on the other hand, you will also be able to identify gaps in present patents with it, which you can use for your designs.
After an extensive introduction (trade mark rights, procedure, origin of patent, layout of a patent), an exemplary online research of patents in the internet will be performed along with you, to demonstrate the practical procedure step by step. Due to the fact that the number of participants of the workshop is limited, you can be sure that your questions will be answered there.
Benefit from the possibility to make your business more capable of competing due to an efficient handling of patents!
