10:40 – 11:15 am Case Study: Using Multiple Online and Single Country Legal Status Databases to Resolve Licensing Fee Issues Carol E. Bachmann, 3M
Abstract
In the past, a legal status search meant searching Inpadoc on an online host such as Dialog or STN. Although Inpadoc covered publications for a large number of countries, it didn’t show all of a country’s publications, only a portion of these had any legal status information and, of those that did, it often did not list the current status of a granted patent. As information professionals we could only send the information to the client, explain what was there, give the caveats of what was missing, and direct them to contact the specific patent offices for the definitive answer.
Since the proliferation of internet hosted patent information, many of those online providers have enhanced the Inpadoc/DOCDB legal status database with their own data. At the same time, patent offices around the world are allowing increased public access to their legal status information. The results of these changes is that we’re able to provide a more complete assessment of the status of patent family members allowing us to answer more complicated questions.
Recently I used various legal status databases to address the question of licensing fees paid to a patent licensor. Accurate and up-to-date information was needed to determine patents in force. The patent family in question contained over 100 members, which included several EP simple patent families. I used Inpadoc, EP Register, Orbit and much single country legal status databases to determine which family members were still in force in order to calculate licensing fees.
The resulting map of patents in force allowed my client to re-negotiate substantially more advantageous licensing fees.

11:15 – 11:50am Patent Informatics in a Filter Bubble Age Kristine Atkinson, A-A Patent Investigations
Abstract
We think when we search a database with modern tools that we have unprecedented power to find information for our arcane uses. Some of that power may come at a price, and we may be making assumptions of data integrity and completeness that lack foundation. We will explore negative filtration and positive expansion of content in a data corpus via such procedures as indexing, local shared objects (flash cookies) and machine translation. Tracing an invention from the idea through the legal patent to the search results list, the impact of information coding and intuitive data management on our findings comes alive as we struggle with page rank, privacy, parasitic code, program obsolescence and regulatory parameters. We’ll consider surprises from unfiltered retrieval and directed information management, and consequences of ever-changing IT technology on patent searching.
Biography

11:50 am – 12:20 am Into the Future Together: The Challenges for Providers and Users of Patent Information in Today’s Fast-moving World and How to Meet Them Cynthia Murphy, Thomson Reuters
Abstract
As PIUG celebrates its 25th Anniversary, so this year sees also the 50th Anniversary of DWPI. The patent landscape has changed immeasurably in that time. From dusty pieces of paper locked away in library vaults, today patents and associated IP rights represent multi –billion dollar business opportunities and risks.
Supporting the decisions and assessments behind those business opportunities and risks requires the best tools and intelligence possible. In today’s environment, what are the challenges of scaling the ever-increasing global information mountain? How do we as information providers continue to create solutions into the future to help patent information users achieve the summit and exploit the uninterrupted view?
This presentation will review the process of driving innovation and creating maximum value from ideas across the IP lifecycle. We will discuss the requirements of the IP researcher for aggregated, normalised, standardised and corrected information. You will learn about how value-add information providers create intellectually enhanced information and tools that help you successfully harness the innovation of your organization and realize its full value now and into the future.

Abstract
Reducing the cost of protecting inventions and removing the language barrier that has impeded access to information on the state-of-the-art are the main goals of the EPO’s machine translation programme, developed in partnership with Google. For patent information from Asian countries, and also in multilingual Europe, the language barrier used to cause many difficulties for patent searchers.
Patent Translate now makes it easy for English speakers worldwide to access full-text documentation from many EPO member states as well as the large and rapidly increasing volume of Chinese-language patent documents. More languages and features are about to be added and will change the way we look at patent information from some rapidly developing regions of the world.

2:20 – 2:55 pm Understanding Machine Translation and the Challenge of Patents John Tinsley, IP Translator
Abstract
The need for on-demand machine translation of patent documentation is ever increasing, yet many users feel that the existing technology does not adequately meet their requirements. While machine translation quality is not perfect, it is a maturing technology that has some very real practical applications within the patent community. In order to better understand the capabilities (and limitations) of machine translation, it would be useful to know exactly how this technology works. In this talk we will provide such an insight into the technology behind machine translation. We will present some of the basic concepts of translation automation and describe how it has evolved over time. We will also discuss the current state-of-the-art in machine translation, what some of the more recent advances have been, and what the R&D roadmap for the future looks like. Following on from this exposition, we will use this background information to discuss the unique challenge of patent translation and the difficulties it presents to machine translation system developers. Finally, we will talk briefly on the evaluation of machine translation systems and the need for task-based extrinsic evaluations to ensure that they are actually fit for purpose. It is intended that this talk will provide patent information specialists with a better understanding of how the technology works and, consequently, provide some explanation of the results they see. This will help to explain phenomena such as why translation quality varies between languages, text types/domains, and competing systems, as well as how they can make the most of the machine translation as it exists for their particular needs.

3:40 – 4:15 pm Debabelizing the Portfolio: Embedding Patent Analysis in Your Patent Portfolio Processes Mark Stignani, Schwegman, Lundberg & Woessner, P.A.
Abstract
One of the hardest tasks in understanding patents is finding a common language for non-patent professionals to understand patents across portfolios and the inherent value contained in their claims. Once this language is found, then business, finance and technical disciplines can discuss a patent or portfolio in its lifecycle on an even footing with the patent professionals. This presentation will cover some of the emerging tools and best practice available to the patent research and analysis community to level the patent playing field for your company in the areas of:
• Claim abstraction and portfolio mapping • Estimating Coverage • Detecting white space • Detecting patent and application overlap • Design around • Enabling quality disclosures • Pre-FTO landscaping • Developing prosecution efficiency metrics • Increasing patent portfolio yield • Portfolio Culling

8:20 – 8:55 am Historical Impact of Major Patent Authorities on Chemical Information in CAS REGISTRY and CAplus – A 20-Year Examination Matt McBride, Science IP
Abstract
Chemical information professionals rely on a variety of commercial databases containing disclosed substances for IP-related searching, The CAS REGISTRY system plays a key role in comprehensive retrieval of both patent and non-patent chemical literature through the CAplus database, as well as other disclosures in reactions and chemical catalogs. Recent reports on the growth of patents from emerging markets, particularly China, have resulted in a strong interest in timeliness and indexing of foreign language patents. However the impact of major patenting authorities on substance disclosures and registrations has not been widely reported.
This review focuses on providing a unique historical perspective on the CAS Registry System and CAplus, providing insight into the substance disclosures by authority, the technology areas of chemical patent research, and trends facing the future of chemical information retrieval.

8:55 – 9:30 am Understanding And Locating Extended Patent Terms For Pharmaceuticals Natalie Pilote, Novartis
Abstract
Patent protection is of utmost importance to pharmaceutical companies to offset R&D and regulatory approval costs of new drugs, and to delay the loss of market share due to generic entry. In addition to general patent legislation, many countries have introduced measures to compensate patent owners for delays occurring between the filing of a pharmaceutical patent and the grant of the marketing authorization, and to ensure a critical balance between innovation and generic competition. Understanding and locating market and regulatory exclusivity information is crucial for patent searchers but can prove quite challenging. We will attempt to summarize the different legislations used to expand the intellectual property rights beyond 20 years and most importantly, how and where to locate this type of information in databases we consider being the industry standard.

10:15 – 10:50 am global Pharmaceutical Innovation: Using Patents to Track the Past and Predict the Future Yali Friedman, ThinkBiotech
Abstract
Globalization has changed many industries, impacting employment in developed nations, increasing prosperity and influence of emerging economies, and – importantly – influencing the nature of products which are developed. For pharmaceuticals a shift in innovation has the potential to reach beyond simple economic effects to public health and national security. For example, a shift in innovation to emerging economies could result in increased development of drugs serving the needs of these economies and a decrease in the number of drugs serving Western diseases. By looking at locations of patent inventors and patent filings it is possible to observe trends in pharmaceutical globalization and to prepare for the changes they may bring. The first part of this study, an examination of the countries of residence of drug patent inventors from 2000 through the present elucidates trends in globalization of pharmaceutical innovation. The findings of this study have implications for future innovation directions, as increased innovation in emerging economies may result in more products being developed to suit their domestic needs. The second part of this study looks forward and examines trends in global drug patent filings. Because the suite of international patents must be filed within a short period from initial filing, the process of selecting countries in which to seek patent protection represents the patent applicant’s sentiments regarding the future market potential in a given country. Accordingly, the forward-looking patent protection trends complement the historical trends in projecting the future of pharmaceutical globalization.

Abstract
Much like the famous cartoon, the debate between chemical searchers and sequence searchers is growing. The appearance of “non-natural” or “uncommon” amino acids and modified peptides, for example, has given rise to the questions: Is it a structure? Is it a sequence? Could it be both? The line between non-text chemistry and biology searching has become blurred in recent years. This presentation will help to clarify the line and present guidance when beginning a search. Consider the size of the molecule, how many amino acids are present, of those, how many are glycine, in order to best cover all bases and create a more comprehensive search report.

8:45 – 10:00 am The CPC Browser in Espacenet and USPTO’s Experience Nigel Clarke, European Patent Office and Christopher Kim, USPTO
Abstract
The CPC has replaced ECLA at the EPO and USClass at the USPTO. Examiners in both offices have access to internal CPC systems for their work, but what of the general public? At the EPO, the decision was taken to locate the public CPC browser in Espacenet, and nowhere else.
The design of the CPC browser has been influenced by a number of considerations; the CPC scheme itself, the requirement to display CPC metadata (notices references etc) and useability requirements (in consultation with external users), whilst retaining familiar basic search principles.
The resultant user interface is thus highly informative, customisable and user friendly.
This presentation describes the development and current implementation of the CPC browser in Espacenet.

10:30 – 10:45 am summarizing Sequence Results by Patent Family John Willmore, BizInt Solutions, Inc.
Abstract
A successful sequence search can return a large number of hits for each family. Presenting this information in a meaningful way can be challenging. Using BizInt Smart Charts for Patents to create a report from a sample search from GenomeQuest, this talk identifies some of the difficult features of sequence reports. We then investigate ways to improve these reports, such as adding information from other family databases, and creating summaries of sequence results using BizInt Smart Charts Reference Rows.

11:00 – 11:15 am Applying Landscaping Tools to Determine Competitive Opportunities Miguel Iglesias and Joe Terlizzi, Questel
Abstract
There are now many new patent landscaping tools available. Once results are graphed, how does an organization interpret the results and draw conclusions? Should they invest in a technology, license, or go in another direction.
This presentation will use a “real life” example to show how landscaping tools can be successfully applied for patent research and decision making. Using Questel’s Orbit.Com analytics with a topical example, we will show how to determine the key players in a technology, the rate of investment that has already taken place, new scientific aspects and trends being explored, licensing opportunities, if there is litigation, and whether there is freedom to operate. New workflow management tools for archiving, classification, and collaboration of results will also be discussed.

Abstract
The transition from the printed word to electronic media, passing through bibliographic and full text databases and onto PDF images has now reached a surprising new level. Along the way, changes to the way Non-Patent Information (NPL) is made available have resulted in the availability of free information in easy to use interfaces, some harmonization between major publishing authorities, and a very confused picture of what can be considered prior art. What is available now and what are the trends that bear watching so that patent searchers can stay relevant for at least another quarter century?
