Learn to assess the strengths and weaknesses of your patent application

Do you have a concept or invention you want to patent? Are you a potential first-time utility patent applicant? Are you interested in learning how to search public patent databases to find patent literature similar to your invention?

Join our free, two-day virtual workshop June 12-13, from 9 a.m.- 4 p.m. ET, as we help you jump-start your entrepreneurial innovation journey. We’ll guide you through searching public patent databases to determine if your idea is completely new or has ever been used for the same purpose.

You may also choose to participate in one-on-one assistance — available slots are limited.

Interest form

Capacity for the workshop is limited. Interest forms will be considered until June 9 or until full. Selected participants will receive an email with instructions on how to join the session.
