Introducing patents searching workshop

Created with innovators in mind, this workshop looks at the UK’s intellectual property system and the value of protecting your product by patenting, and guides you through the information available on free web databases.

The workshop will explain the patenting process, and then explain how to search each of the databases. You will have a chance to practice at the end of the workshop, with expert staff on hand to answer any questions and provide help.
