Book Description
This Guide aims to assist users in searching for technology information using patent documents, a rich source of technical, legal and business information presented in a generally standardized format and often not reproduced anywhere else. Though the Guide focuses on patent information, many of the search techniques described here can also be applied in searching other non-patent sources of technology information.

Book Description
Excerpt from Patent Term and Patent Disclosure Legislation: Hearing Before the Committee on Small Business, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, Washington, DC, April 25, 1996 The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 11 a.m., in room 2359, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Jan Meyers (Chair of the Committee) presiding. Chair Meyers. Good morning. The Committee will come to order. I think we have several people who are on their way, so I will go ahead and get started with a couple of opening remarks and welcome everyone who is here. At the outset, I would like to thank all of our witnesses for being here today. Particularly, Ms. Gardner, who has traveled all the way from San Diego to be with us; a long, long journey. Today we will be discussing two patent issues of importance to small business: Patent terms and patent disclosure. As most of you are aware, there are two different legislative approaches currently pending which address these issues: H.R. 359, which was introduced by Mr. Rohrabacher of California; and H.R. 1733, which was introduced by Mr. Moorhead of California. I personally am a cosponsor of H.R. 359. However, I realize that my colleagues here on the Committee have different views on these issues. I wanted to make sure that we heard from both sides today. While these issues of patent term and patent disclosure were addressed recently in our deliberations leading to the passage of GATT implementing legislation in the last Congress, I believe that many Members were not aware of the full reach of what was contained in every nook and cranny of the GATT accord which emerged from the Uruguay Round. I am a supporter of H.R. 359 for a couple of reasons. First, I believe that the previous system of 17 years of patent protection from the date of grant is more conducive to promoting American innovation and protecting the rights of small business inventors. This particular approach worked quite well for over 130 years. Moreover, I am very concerned about the premature disclosure of intellectual property. Many small businesses work hard to develop new innovations only to lose the ways to market their products to their full potential because of the premature release of technical information. Publication should occur after grant. America has a long and unique tradition of protecting intellectual property.

Book Description
The U.S. patent system is in an accelerating race with human ingenuity and investments in innovation. In many respects the system has responded with admirable flexibility, but the strain of continual technological change and the greater importance ascribed to patents in a knowledge economy are exposing weaknesses including questionable patent quality, rising transaction costs, impediments to the dissemination of information through patents, and international inconsistencies. A panel including a mix of legal expertise, economists, technologists, and university and corporate officials recommends significant changes in the way the patent system operates. A Patent System for the 21st Century urges creation of a mechanism for post-grant challenges to newly issued patents, reinvigoration of the non-obviousness standard to quality for a patent, strengthening of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, simplified and less costly litigation, harmonization of the U.S., European, and Japanese examination process, and protection of some research from patent infringement liability.
