Message from the Chair

Welcome to the 2011 PIUG Northeast Conference!A lot of things have happened since last October. The nation’s unemployment rate remains high, the president wants to inject another shot of $450 billion stimulant into the economy, he also signed into law the “America Invents Act” last Month. Our Northeast conference is also experiencing some changes and loss. This is the 2nd year the conference will be a 5-day event. We also introduced the Mock patent searcher certification exams during the meeting. Sadly, you will also miss a familiar smile when you enter the registration desk this year.

This meeting will not be possible without the hard work of a marvelous group of volunteers. A conference like this takes a lot of time and effort. I certainly can not accomplish this myself. These people are:

Program Committee:

Lucy Akers (Chair), Suzanne Robins, Don Walter, and Rick Williams. Planning Committee:

Patent Landscaping and Analysis: Tools, Tips and Tricks

by Shayne Phillips (Halliburton) and Joe Terlizzi (Questel)

Abstract

The use of third-party patent landscaping and analysis software has become an increasingly essential tool leveraged by corporations for their technology and business strategy development activities. The ability to evaluate patent literature, not just for prior art, but as important publications that may be used for trending, ring-fencing, and white-space identification analysis is becoming an increasingly sought-after skill for IP professionals. Using a chemistry-related example, this presentation will cover the importance of building an accurate data set through various online search techniques, and review the different landscaping tools now available for analysis of data. It will focus on what landscape analysis can and can’t do for the IP professional, and tips and tricks for developing comprehensive analyses.

Biographies

Shayne Phillips has been working in the intellectual property arena for close to fifteen years, particularly in the areas of technical patent and nonpatent literature searching, and in IP-related competitive intelligence. Ms. Phillips began her career at Procter & Gamble (P&G) in Cincinnati, Ohio, working as a Technical Assistant in Corporate New Ventures (a group tasked with evaluating outside technology for the entirety of P&G). She then moved to the IP-practice group of Dinsmore & Shohl (also in Cincinnati), working as a Technical Consultant, providing both patent application prosecution support and IP litigation assistance. In 2000 Ms. Phillips moved to Columbus, Ohio, and began work at Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) as an Editorial Analyst in the Mammalian Hormones Document Indexing Group of the Biochemistry Department of CAS’ Editorial Division. In 2002 Ms. Phillips transitioned to the role of Applications Specialist at CAS, specializing in advanced STN training, focusing on protein and gene sequence searching in particular. Following her tenure at CAS, Ms. Phillips transitioned to Halliburton in Houston, Texas, working in their Intellectual Asset Management group as both the head of IP Competitive Intelligence and as a Patent Liaison for the Cementing Product Service Line. Ms. Phillips celebrated her seven-year anniversary at Halliburton in July of this year, and is also a registered US Patent Agent.

Joe Terlizzi is Questel’s chemical information specialist and training manager. He has been involved with chemical search and retrieval systems since 1975, when he joined the Central Abstracting and Indexing Service (CAIS) of the American Petroleum Institute. At CAIS, Joe worked until 1999 as an indexer, product manager, editor of the API Thesaurus, and chief trainer, and helped develop their machine-aided indexing system. Joe joined Questel in 2000 as an IP specialist and sales representative and became their head trainer for the Merged Markush Service. Joe holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ.

2011 Patent Reform - Breaking it Down

by Catherine Toppin, General Electric Corp.

Abstract

This presentation takes a look at the history of patent reform and its development from the 1952 Patent Act to the 2011 HR 1249 bill, also known as the “America Invents Act.” We will identify the parties involved in its formation and analyze each of the major provisions and their potential impact. Key provisions to be discussed include: the first to file system, the best mode patentability requirement, new post-grant review proceedings, false marking provisions, and USPTO fee diversion. Come ready to discuss the constitutional and policy implications of these exciting changes to US patent law and their impact on US and global patent practice.

Plumbing the Depths of Examiner Search (il)-Logic: A Patent Searching Perspective

By Dominic M. DeMarco, DeMarco Intellectual Property, LLC

Abstract

Forests have been felled to create the material incorporated into patent law CLEs covering the legal ramifications of examiner citations and determinations. But for those of us who search patents to support attorneys, our analysis is generally limited to two important questions with regard to examiner searching:• For Novelty: How and why did the Examiner find and/or cite a particular reference.• For Validity: How does this affect my ability to locate potentially invalidating prior art.

This presentation will be based upon a combination of off-the-record examiner interviews, copious file wrapper reviews, and plenty of anecdotal evidence. Absolutely no legal advice is intended or being provided!

Biography

Dominic DeMarco is the Managing Director of DeMarco IP, a patent search firm focused on serving the needs of patent attorneys in both prosecution and litigation. DeMarco IP performs professional searches across a full range of chemical, electrical and mechanical technologies.

Originally trained to search the infamous shoes at the USPTO’s Public Search Room during the 1990’s, Dominic was of the lucky generation able to transition their skills to the computerized systems used today by patent information professionals. His true expertise is in using the USPTO’s East (Examiner Automated Search Tool) computer system, the primary search tool provided for the nearly 6,000 patent examiners employed within the US and for the lucky few patent researchers living in the Washington DC area. Dominic has a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Virginia and is a registered US patent agent.

Round Table Discussions

Session Chair – Richard Williams, Vertex Pharmaceuticals

The purpose is to provide time for our members to have a free and open discussion on issues of importance to them. No formal presentations will be permitted and no sign up in advance is necessary. There will be a facilitator at each table to ensure that no one monopolizes the conversations nor strays too far from the topic. Vendors are strongly encouraged to participate but are not to regard this as a “sales” opportunity. Our expectation is that this unconstrained exchange of ideas will provide a learning experience for everyone, vendors and customers. We are particularly interested in feedback from attendees as to whether they wish this to be a regular part of our meetings.

Session 1 — 3:30-4:15 pm

All day PIUG “Patent Information Fundamentals” Course

Patent Information Fundamentals was formerly offered by PERI, the Pharmaceutical Education and Research Institute. The course has been transferred to PIUG and is an expanded version of the well known PERI Patent Information Course, which has been offered since 1989. It provides an overview of the patenting process, sources of patent information and the various means of answering patent information requests pertaining to chemical, electrical and mechanical technologies. The basics of U.S. and foreign patent laws, patent search techniques and resources, and the importance of exclusivity and patent term extension will be discussed.

This course is ideal for information and library staff, especially those new to patent searching, who need a comprehensive overview of the patenting process and sources of patent information. Individuals working in R & D who need a better understanding of patents and the patenting are also encouraged to attend.

Registration and fee required.

Patent Information Users Group, Inc. The International Society for Patent Information

About PIUGThe Patent Information Users Group, Inc. (PIUG) – The International Society for Patent Information is a not-for-profit organization for individuals having a professional, scientific or technical interest in patent information.

The Patent Information Users Group (PIUG) was established in 1988. The objective of the group was to create a forum to discuss issues and concerns relevant to the patent searcher community. PIUG promotes the importance of intellectual prop-erty, especially patent publications, and most specifically, the computerized patent databases. Since 1988, PIUG has worked with intellectual property database producers and vendors to maintain and to improve the quality of their product from the customer, or user, perspective.

The mission of PIUG is to support, assist, improve and enhance the success of patent information professionals through leadership, education, communication, advocacy and networking. Through this international forum and discussion, we also promote and improve the retrieval, analysis and dissemination of patent information.

PIUG has over 700 active members representing 27 countries including the United States. The largest concentration of mem-bers is from the USA, Europe and Japan. PIUG members are patent attorneys, patent agents, licensing professionals, patent information researchers, patent information vendors, and patent information and documentation experts from the U.S. and abroad.

We have nearly 300 patent information professionals who do patent searching for corporations, over 100 patent information consultants, over 80 patent information professionals who do patent searching for law firms, and about 20 searchers based in academic institutions. We are employed in performing patentability, freedom-to-practice, and validity patent searches for Fortune 500 / multinational companies, leading universities and major IP law firms. In recent years, PIUG members have also engaged in patent information analysis as a strategic innovation tool.

PIUG has an active Discussion Forum that is featured on the PIUG wiki, a global collaborative tool with nearly 1000 sub-scribers world-wide, and produces a newsletter twice a year. In addition, we have presence in professional and social network-ing channels, such as LinkedIn and Twitter. The PIUG newsletter contains members’ articles, salary survey results, search tips, meeting trip reports, and information on patent database vendor and producer developments.
