A colleague has asked me to post the following question, which stumped me:

>Does anyone know of tutorials for researching patent expirations? Those
>relating to pharmaceuticals (drug patents) is of particular interest.
>Ideally this would include search techniques and databases - both
>commercial and on the Web if applicable. In addition, specialized
>literature is of interest.

Direct email answers to me would be fine, although other list members may be
interested in the answer, too.
