Make sense of patents in these upcoming #AOCSWebinars

Patents often prove to be an information source more difficult to decode than scientific papers or books. Yet, given that 70% of all technical information published can only be found in patents, they are essential to read and understand for thorough research.

Looking to build your skills in pattern recognition strategies and extracting key information from patents? Join these upcoming #AOCSWebinars all focused on best patent reading and referencing methods.
