attorney, you will be able to successfully find patent references from
all over the world and know how to obtain patent text and diagrams.
The session will be a hands-on practicum which will help de-mystify
the patent literature and expose attendees to key resources for
finding patent literature. Using patent literature is important for
understanding competitive technologies and keeping abreast of current
product innovations.</div>
