Session Overview
This session will focus on “Prior Art Search”, understood as a structured search of the state of the art relevant to the participants’ research. It will explore how to use patent databases and other information sources to:
- understand what has already been protected or disclosed in a given field
- assess novelty and inventive step before drafting a paper or a patent application
- identify white spaces, competitors and potential partners
The session will be led by Susana Rodrigues, Patent Consultant at Inventa Internacional, SA, who will share practical examples from her experience working with R&D teams.
