Managing Patent Information in a Large Organization: Outlook and Insight through the Same Window.
This workshop will present a case study of integrated patent information retrieval and management at Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) using Questel’s QPAT service. It will cover basic user needs in R&D, including document delivery; prior art searching; simple but efficient browsing; mapping and analyzing schemes; offline editing; and project-related broader IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) surveys with an emphasis on Asian data. Technical/policy issues to consider in the selection of patent information tools, including choice of delivery platform, licence/fee structure, and access arrangements will also be explored.
