Patent Searching by David Hunt

Patent Searching by David Hunt

Nearly 50,000 patent attorneys are registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and each of them depends on quality patent searches to perform their vital role. However, there are very few resources on how an intellectual property professional would conduct a patent search. The Art of Patent Searching fills that gap.

"The authors have made a creditable attempt at a difficult subjectEven the experienced searcher for whom much of the practice is "instinctive" will benefit from a careful consideration of this book." (World Patent Journal, Sept 2007)
