Patent Information Users Group, Inc. (PIUG) will be offering a two-part webinar series entitled "Advanced Patent Search Strategies: What to Use When All Else Fails" on March 23 and April 6, 2022. Both sessions will be held from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm (EDT). Ron Kaminecki will discuss advanced search strategies to try when you have used the typical search methods and you want to make sure you did not miss something important -- typical search methods including keywords, classification codes, citations, and advanced systems will be briefly reviewed, with the main focus being what to do after using these initial strategies. The two-part webinar covers multiple techniques including:
• The Building Block Approach: categorizing concepts to modify a strategy
• Successive Fractions: paring a search down by concepts
• Recombination of Elements: narrowing piecemeal results to avoid duplicates
• Terms of Art: identifying the most important terminology
• Linking: extending the search to other database sources
• Pearl Growing: expanding results starting with only a single result
• Cherry Picking: using a few documents to locate more information
• Analogous Arts: using alternative sources to locate the information
The registration fee for the webinar is $199 for non-members or $159 for PIUG members. Those interested in attending the webinar should register here.
