Seminar Consultations
For R&D or other product development organizations where scientists would benefit from either a first course or a refresher in patent matters, I can offer seminars that are tailored to the IP field that the organization works in, and the specific problems facing the group at the time..
Here is an example of a presentation on patent claims. It covers the basics of patent claim reading (but not writing) and the meaning of certain terms and structures in claims. This presentation was given on specialchem.com.
The intent of the presentation is to be example based. Once the basic terms have been defined, you will see that there are several charts in the presentation dedicated to examples from a particular field (in this case hygiene products). I can work with you to tailor the presentation to include examples from your own organization's IP, and even go on to analyze some of the competitive patents in the field in a seminar type of format, or on a one on one basis.
Here is an example of a presentation on what factors determine whether your invention is patentable in the view of the patent office... It covers the basics of how to assess novelty and obviousness and summarizes some actual cases from the USPTO.
Other subjects that may be of interest to you could be;
Planning experiments for examples to support claims.
File histories and how to use them.
Obviousness. What is it and can you plan to write a set of patent claims to avoid it.
