IPI-Award 2009 Call for Nominations
 
Nominations are now being accepted for the prestigious International Patent
Information (IPI) Award, established to honor the great professionals of the
patent information industry worldwide. Now in its tenth year, the
IPI-Award is aimed at recognizing individual contributions towards the
advancement of patent information and to the patent information world in
general, and is not limited to producers and service providers. The Award,
established and sponsored by Technology & Patent Research (TPR)
International, consists of a plaque and an honorarium of $3000 or other
currency equivalent.

Please share this news with your colleagues and take the opportunity to
nominate the person who you consider to be most deserving of this tribute.
The deadline for receipt of nominations is October 24, 2008. All
nominations will be reviewed by an International Selection Board and the
name of the IPI-Award recipient for 2009 will be announced in the coming
Spring at the International Patent Information Conference & Exposition,
IPI-ConfEx, being held in Venice-Mestre, Italy, March 1-4, 2009 -- see
http://www.IPI-ConfEx.com <http://www.ipi-confex.com/> .

It is important to remember that nominations come from within the patent
information community itself, and that the International Selection Board
makes their selection based solely on nominations that have been received.
Nomination letters should clearly describe the nominee's contribution to the
field of patent information, and each letter should include any material in
support of the nomination. Support materials could include a biography and
a list of any publications and presentations by the individual. The
nominating person should also ensure that at least two seconding letters are
