"Keyword Patent Searching Online - A Workbook" has just been published
(July 2002) and makes a compelling case for keywords as the best way to
search for patents on the Internet. The use of classification systems
is not needed for global patentability searches.
Four inventions are presented for the reader to search using basic
technologies. Each search is challenging and requires about four hours.
The reader is encouraged to work alone. Step-by-step search solutions
are provided that are easy to follow. The search results show how each
patent is located. The reader evaluates progress by comparing the
patents found with the search results. The USPTO and the EPO search
engines are featured. The presentation and layouts are completely
original. University seminars are now being planned using these
materials. For more information, see <http://www.keypatent.net/>

By way of introduction, I have more than twenty years experience in
patent law, and have been admitted to practice before the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office. I was Associate Patent Counsel with Borg-Warner
Automotive, Inc., and an attorney with Battelle Memorial Institute and
Rockwell International Corp. (Aerospace Division). I've been admitted
to practice law in Michigan, California, and Ohio. I present one-day
patent seminars for the Society of Automotive Engineers entitled
"Patents - A Global Perspective" (see
