This workshop will provide an overview of what a patent is and how to use freely accessible patent databases to conduct research on both current and historical patents. The workshop is geared towards a general audience and will include handouts and an opportunity to practice searching a patent database.

Please register online to reserve your spot. Registration is open until the workshop begins.

If you’re unable to attend this workshop but are interested in setting up an information session with the Patent and Trademark Resource Center Representative at the University of Maine please send an email to rachel.a.knapp@maine.edu.
