The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Regional Offices invite you to join us for The Path to a Patent: Patent Searching.
Before you file your patent application, you need to conduct a prior art search.
USPTO experts will discuss important topics related to this subject, including:
* the benefits of searching
* how to perform a prior art search using keywords and the Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) system
* how to build a search strategy
We will also provide resources for filing your application.
