    Steve A. , from Plastopil Hazorea Company Ltd.:
    "A very good course! Gave a structured technique for assessing patents and patentability."

    Christy S. , from Akzo Nobel Coatings:
    "It was a nice overview. Although I have been using www.freepatentsonline.com for a number of years. I gained some new approaches to looking at patent strategies and competitors' patent approaches (Venn diagrams, core/customer's products patent slides)."

    Wang D. , from Nipsea Technologies Pte Ltd.:
    "I learnt how to present the patent search results and how to link the company patent status to its development strategy."

    To successfully develop a product that does not infringe on another's patent and may itself be patentable, a developer must be aware of existing patents in his area. Lack of methodology often turns this into a daunting task with no guaranteed results.

    After attending this 2-part e-Training Course, you will be confident in your methods to search online patents databases and produce efficient and easy-to-communicate maps. It will make your future product development decisions easier.
