PIUG, Inc., The International Society for Patent Information, is pleased
to
announce the 2003 Brian Stockdale Memorial Award.
BACKGROUND:
This award is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Brian Stockdale who
travelled
extensively throughout the world imparting his knowledge of patent
searching.
Brian's career encompassed positions with Derwent, SmithKline Beecham,
and
Technology and Patent Research International. As Brian was so well known
internationally and trained many patent information professionals, his
work was
highly regarded. Brian always relished each new search as a challenge
and loved
working with the people in this industry. Brian is dearly remembered by
his
friends and colleagues most of all for his dry wit, keen intellect, and
ease of
meeting people and socializing wherever he went. As one of the world's
most
talented patent information search professionals, he is sorely missed.
This is
our tribute to his personal dedication in training colleagues,
particularly
those new to the field of chemical patent searching.
