A new workbook - "Keyword Patent Searching Online" - offers a fresh approach
to patent searching using keywords only, obtaining professional-quality
search results.  Online patent databases have improved dramatically in the
last few years.  One authority predicts that within the next year, "a new
genre of search tools will emerge that will advance Internet-based patent
researching to a new level."

Four patent searches (using basic technologies) are the highlight of the
book.  Each search requires about four hours.  The USPO and the EPO search
engines are used to screen U.S. and global prior art.  Step-by-step search
solutions are provided that show how each patent is identified.  If the
search results are promising, we recommend that the engage an attorney/agent
to prepare a patent application.

The book is now available at the following libraries: Loughborough
University - UK, Marquarie University - Australia, University of
Massachusetts, IBM Research Lab - Israel, Michigan State University, Rutgers
University, Wayne State University, Librairie Luginbuhl - France, University
of Akron Law Library, and Colorado State University.  The book makes a
compelling case that searching for U.S. and international patents online is
the best way for searching patentability.  The author has been an
intellectual property attorney for 20 years.  For more information, see
