SUMMARY:Business Webinar: Unlocking Innovation: How to Perform a Successful Patent Search
DESCRIPTION:Have a great idea but aren't sure if someone else has thought of it first? Considering protecting your idea with a patent? Before you consult a lawyer\, start filling out forms\, or spend any money\, there are some steps you should take. One of the first is conducting a patent search\, also known as a prior art search. This helps determine if your idea is patentable and gives you a solid foundation for moving forward.\n\nIn this webinar\, we'll cover the basics of patents\, introduce you to the USPTO's patent database\, Patent Public Search\, and show you how to perform a simple 6-step prior art search. There will also be a brief Q&A session\, along with information on additional resources and free assistance for navigating the patent process.\n\n\n\nPresenter: Anne Kuipers is the Patent and Trademark Resources Librarian at the Wyoming USPTO's Patent and Trademark Resource Center. This is done as part of her work as a librarian at the Wyoming State Library. Her favorite part of being a librarian is helping people find the information that they are looking for. When not at work Anne can be found at home with her cat Matilda\, curled up with a good book.
