New! Online course on<br />
patent searching<br />
For over twelve years, the EPO's<br />
Seminar on <strong>Patent</strong> Searching<br />
has been a great way for patent<br />
informa tion newcomers to get<br />
started. As from March 2017, the<br />
seminar will be available online.<br />
Until now, the seminar has taken<br />
the form of a four-day course at the<br />
EPO. The new online version will<br />
allow more people to participate –<br />
and without the need to travel. It<br />
will be available as a four-module<br />
course spread over two weeks. Each<br />
module will be broadcast as a live<br />
90-minute session, with opportunities<br />
for interaction with the trainers<br />
and the other students.<br />
The first of the new courses will take<br />
place between 21 and 31 March 2017.<br />
