Patent Searching Made easy provides information on how to quickly research any new idea to see whether anyone has already patented it; decide on the best keywords to describe an invention and target a search; classify an invention based on the U.S. Patent Classification System; figure out whether an idea is new enough to qualify for a patent; verify the patent status of ideas submitted to potential developers, and how to use the latest federal and international search-related resources"-- Provided by publisher. |
