Introduction
This course is jointly offered with the Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Intellectual Property Management (RGNIIPM, India) for the benefit of patent examiners working in the areas of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and chemistry.
Why the course is offered
The course is offered to enhance the technical skills and knowledge of patent examiners in the use of online patent search engines and to equip patent examiners with new patent examination techniques for a better assessment of patent applications.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to search and examine inventions in the areas of biotechnology, chemistry and pharmaceuticals using publicly available online tools, and to assess novelty and inventive step concerning inventions in those fields.
