• Session 2: From Charts to Smarts: Affordable Visualizations for Extraction of IP Intelligence. Presented by Elliott Linder, Questel |

Graphical representations of IP information can yield valuable insights into relationships and trends, but sophisticated graphical tools have been historically expensive. This presentation will feature a series of high-value-added interactive charting and graphing functionalities available in a cost-effective module built into a powerful, data-rich patent search and workfile interface. One-click extended Patent Family graphing will be featured.

• Plenary session: Toward Greater Internationalism in Patent Information:
A Provider-Vendor Perspective and Approach
Monday, May 4th, presented by Elliott Linder, Questel |
|
|
|
|
| |
This is a period of rapid transition for IP information provider-vendors toward greater internationalism. Vendors are taking a variety of approaches to meet the growing demand for far more international content as well as interface and system features to enhance retrieval and display of such content. This session will examine the Questel perspective on, and multi-faceted approach to, this important transition. Various aspects of how Questel is addressing the demand and facilitating the transition, both currently and in the near-term, will be illustrated and discussed.
