The American Chemical Society has an introduction into patents:
What every Chemist should know about patents.
Downloadable (pdf) from
http://www.acs.org/government/publications/technical.html
there are two more interesting pamphlets:
Electronic Record-Keeping for Patent Purposes: Cautions and Pitfalls
Record-Keeping Fact Sheet—A Guideline for Maintaining Research Records for
Patent Purposes

The British Technology Group also has two interesting pamphletes on-line:

And also about patents:
Abstract: Frequently asked questions about IPR. Why patent an invention?.
When should research be published?. How did patents arise?. What are the
advantages of patenting an invention?. How else can an invention be
protected?. Is my invention patentable?. Do all countries have the same
patent laws?. Who owns an invention?.

Happy reading
