Patent Searching: An indispensable tool for inventors

There’s no sense paying thousands of dollars to file a patent application if someone else has beaten you to the Patent and Trademark Office. Now you can avoid expensive patent-searching fees with this step-by-step guide that explains the process, online and off.
Patent Searching Made Easy, shows you how to to:
• quickly research any new idea to see whether anyone has already patented it
• come up with the best keywords to describe your invention and target your search
• classify your invention based on the U.S. Patent Classification System
• figure out whether your idea is new enough to qualify for a patent
• verify the patent status of ideas submitted to you (if you’re a developer), and
• use the latest federal and international search-related resources.
