Praise for Patent Searching: Tools & Techniques
"Hunt delivers a comprehensive yet readable treatise on patent searching. Laying out methods and tools to implement a systematic search process, Patent Searching elucidates the what, why, when, and how--a desirable contribution to those involved in this endeavor."
--Mark Hutcherson, Editor, Patent Information Users Group Newsletter
Patent Searching: Tools & Techniques provides an essential training and reference tool for patent attorneys, patent agents, and their support staff. David Hunt and his team of patent experts detail the methods used in the art of professional patent searching, the current tools to accomplish that task, and approaches for reporting that information. The wide range of search types they outline will yield invaluable data for any applicant who wants to increase their chances of earning a profitable return on a corporation's substantial investment. Along with search tools, this practical book covers a mixture of patent law, patent search theory, and practice, offering a global approach to patents that will be useful to attorneys and agents not just in the United States, but all around the world.
