  <title><![CDATA[Patent Search Workshop ]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Are you curious about patents? As an inventor, what do you need to know before filing a patent application for protection? A good patent search will help you identify prior art references that are critical to the patentability of your invention. In this workshop, you will learn, through hands-on exercises, how to navigate through multiple free patent databases, and how to conduct your own preliminary patent search effectively.

	<li><strong>Part Two:</strong>&nbsp;Hands-on practice (including classification search using USPTO&#39;s PatFT/AppFT, and EPO&#39;s Espacenet; Hybrid search using classification and keywords)</li>
</ul>
