What is a patent and where do I find one? That is just one of the many 
questions that will be answered in this class. We will go over the basic 
fundamentals regarding patent searching and the terminology used by the 
professional researchers or attorneys. We will take a look at the 
special online databases used for research both fee and free and learn 
how to use them. Typical everyday patent requests will be discussed and 
how best to answer them. At the conclusion of the class you will 
understand the research assignments that are being requested and how to 
handle them more effectively.
