[PIUG List] Automating Patent Analysis Workshop at PIUG NE Meeting

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

If planning to attend the PIUG Northeast Meeting in October, please consider
registering for the October 15 AM workshop: *Automating Patent Analysis for
Competitive Advantage* during the regular online registration process.

Past comments (from the PIUG newsletter) include:

*"I really enjoyed this workshop and learned more about the uses of patent
analysis and visualization techniques than in any other session."

"Brager has a unique presentation style that guides attendees along a
logical narrative path (he uses lots of anecdotes of his own professional
experience) only to waylay them with an unforeseen twist."

"...the main point of his presentation [was] to use visualization tools and
rhetoric to get the attention of management staff; and in this situation, we
were the management staff!"*

An abstract follows, and I hope to greet you there.

This in-depth workshop will educate and instruct users in performing and
automating many forms of patent analysis. From simple charting tools to
categorizers and valuation algorithms, participants will gain deep insight
into the tools and methods that impress and engage executive management –
because they get the job done at lower risk and higher value. Workshop
subject matter will focus on extracting business and scientific insights and
cover the automation of a range of techniques including charting and
graphing, identifying white spaces, effectively categorizing patents and
much more. The tools discussed will include Vantage Point/Thomson Data
Analyzer, Microsoft Excel, Innography, Patent Cafe and several other paid
and free resources. By the end of the workshop, takeaways will include new
approaches to assessing patent risks and opportunities, estimating patent
quality, and quantifying options in patent licensing, sales or litigation.
*
User-requested improvements from previous sessions include: more lessons
using lower cost and free tools; hands-on case examples; and greater
integration into the cases of customized requests from workshop attendees.*
