Dublin, April 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "State of the Art Searching (June 25, 2026)" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This training course will teach you the essential skills for conducting comprehensive 'state of the art' patent searches.
Our expert trainer will guide you through selecting the right content, putting together and executing an effective search strategy, and analysing and reporting your findings.
While the focus is on patent searching, the training course also explores when and how to incorporate other technical literature into your state of the art review, depending on your specific field.
A state of the art search must be broader than a typical patentability search. You will learn about standard search protocols, and how to balance recall and precision, ensuring relevance for optimal results. The training course emphasises practical techniques, including the use of patent classifications, patent citations, and name searching, to build a robust collection for an initial state of the art review. The course will consider when and how to use AI search and analysis tools during the search and review process.
Given that the state of the art is always evolving, the course will also cover how to stay up to date by setting up effective technology patent monitoring processes. This will ensure you remain informed about the latest advancements in your field.
