Nothing but this is basically intended to give message about the term "Patent Applications"? What they are? Benefits? Drawback? etc
There are two main types of patents granted by the U.S. Patent Office: design patents and utility patents. Determining which type of patent applies to your invention can be crucial to receiving adequate protection for your invention. A utility patent is granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for inventions that produce a new and useful result. With a utility patent, an inventor is granted the right to prevent anyone else from making, selling, using or importing the invention without the inventor's consent. A utility patent may be granted to anyone who invents or discovers any new and
useful process, machine, article of manufacture, compositions of matter, or any new useful improvement thereof. A design patent may be granted to anyone who invents a new, original, and ornamental design for an article of manufacture.
Filing a Patent application is the first step towards protecting an invention. This presentation details in brief on how and where to file a patent application along with the other documentary and statutory requirements.
This Presentation teaches on how to search patent using various patent database like Free patent database, Patent database of National Authority and Paid patent database. It also focus on general parts of the patent and why patenting is needed. This presentation was delivered to M.Pharm. student by Mr. Pratik Vora for supporting them in their dissertation topic search. Hope you may find it helpful to you, also.

Study on Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and Trade in Traditional Medicin...Kamal Perera
Presented on Symposium at 22nd International conference of College of Medical Administrators of Sri Lanka, 13th March 2015
(Based on WHO/SEARO-Project Report of Study on Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and Trade in Traditional Medicines (TM) in Sri Lanka)
India is known for its traditional medicinal systems—Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani. Medical systems are found mentioned even in the ancient Vedas and other scriptures. The Ayurvedic concept appeared and developed between 2500 and 500 BC in India Traditional medicine (also known as indigenous or folk medicine) comprises knowledge systems that developed over generations within various societies before the era of modern medicine. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines traditional medicine as "the sum total of the knowledge, skills, and practices based on the theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to different cultures, whether explicable or not, used in the maintenance of health as well as in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness.Alternative medicines are being used by about 60 percent of the world's population. These medicines are not only used by the rural masses for their primary health care in developing countries but are also used in developed countries where modern medicines dominate.India is the largest producer of medicinal plants. There are currently about 250,000 registered medical practitioners of the Ayurvedic system, as compared to about 700,000 of the modern medicine. In India, around 20,000 medicinal plants have been recorded; however, traditional practitioners use only 7,000–7,500 plants for curing different diseases. The proportion of use of plants in the different Indian systems of medicine is Ayurveda 2000, Siddha 1300, Unani 1000, Homeopathy 800, Tibetan 500, Modern 200, and folk 4500. In India, around 25,000 effective plant-based formulations are used in traditional and folk medicine. More than 1.5 million practitioners are using the traditional medicinal system for health care in India.
Patent infringement is the commission of a prohibited act with respect to a patented invention without permission from the patent holder. It occurs when someone violates the patent rights an inventor has in his invention by making, using or selling the invention without the patent owner‘s permission (or if the patent has been licensed), in a way not permitted by the license.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. What is Patent ?
A patent is an exclusive right granted by the government for
an invention. It provides protection for the invention to the
owner of the patent for a limited period which varies from
country to country.
Patent is also a property right granted to a person or legal
entity (e.g., a corporation) by the Patent and Trademark Office.
The right conferred is “the right to exclude others from
making, using, offering for sale or selling” the patented invention
in any country or from importing the invention into the country.
3. Significance of Patent as Document :
Traditional scholarly publications such as journal articles, books,
and conference proceedings have been the major information
sources for academic researchers.
With the fast development of technology and innovation, patent
documents are becoming an increasingly important primary
scholarly information source.
Patents are governments grants that give inventors the exclusive
right to make, use, or sell an invention. In exchange, inventors
must fully describe the invention so that others can benefit from
this advance .
4. Because of the unique characteristics of patent
documents, they provide certain advantages over other kinds of
information sources.
1. About 600,000 patents were granted worldwide each year
recently, covering almost every field of technology
2. Patents usually disclose the newest technology or process,
therefore, it is useful for researchers to keep abreast with
the development in a field and get ideas for further
innovation.
3. Patent documents often have a standardized format. In
addition to bibliographic information and abstract sections,
patent documents must describe the technology in full detail.
5. What is Database ?
A database is a collection of information that is organized so
that it can easily be accessed, managed, and updated. In one
view, databases can be classified according to types of content:
bibliographic, full-text, numeric, and images.
Importance of Patent Database :
Patent Information is commonly not available in developing
countries . There are significant obstacles to identifying the
patent status of any particular product even in rich countries.
There are many patents field on various products . Patent
applications may be easily searchable.
7. Introduction :
Across the globe, there are over 180 patents offices in different
regions operating in different languages. With this information, it
is interesting to note that more than two-thirds of patent filings
across the world are accounted by only three patent offices,
namely US patent & trademark office, European Patent Office and
Japan Patent Office, also known as Trilateral Patent Offices.
Thus for any patent database it is of great importance to cover
the documents of these jurisdictions. The patent offices of the
trilateral countries and many other countries (such as China, India,
Canada, Korea, Singapore etc.) provide search facilities of their
patent documents online.
8. 1. PatentScope (WIPO)
PatentScope is the public database of record for Primary Care
Trust (PCT) international patent applications published by the
World Intellectual Property organization (WIPO). It contains
approximately 1.7 million international applications published
from 1978 forward. In 2009, WIPO extended PatentScope to
include national patent collections from the African Regional
Intellectual Property Organization, Cuba, Israel, Korea, Mexico,
Singapore, South Africa and Vietnam. The largest of these are
Korea (1.3 million documents from 1973-2007), Mexico (180,000
documents from 1991-2009) and Israel (144,000 documents from
1900-1999). WIPO also introduced a new search interface with
simple, structured and browse functions, and the option to display
search results as tables or graphs.
9. It provides Search as well as Advanced Search. We can Search
by Front Page, Any Field, Full Text, ID/ Number, Int.
Classification, Names, Dates.
10. What is PATENTSCOPE Search ?
PatentScope search is the FREE OF CHARGE search service
provided by the World Intellectual Property Organization

be built in order to retrieve only the most relevant results at the
risk of missing some results. If you favor RECALL, an
expanded query will be built in order to retrieve the largest
possible number of accurate results, but also allowing the
possible retrieval of a large number of irrelevant results.
18. 2. EKASWA
EKASWA is India’s first patent database hosted by Technology
Information and Forecasting Council (TIFAC). As a first step in
this direction a Patent Facilitating Centre (PFC) was set up by
Department of Science and Technology under Technology
Information Forecasting and Assessment Council (TIFAC) in
1995.
The patent search involves three levels.
1. A bibliographic report on patents granted/published in
US, Europe, PCT and India are provided to the client.
2. Providing the abstracts of the relevant patents as requested by
the client.
3. Providing full text document of the patents.
19. The patent search services can be availed free of cost by
universities, academic institutions, Govt. R&D institutions and
government departments.
EKASWA –A, EKASWA –B AND EKASWA- C
20. How to SEARCH ?
The search allows queries to be formed using "+" , ","
,"#", and "*" options.
Use of And (+) option :
e.g. "microwave + oven": retrieves all records about microwave
ovens.
Use of Or (,) function:
e.g. "Laser, beam" retrieves records either having laser alone or
beam alone or having both. For records having both laser as
well as beam, use "laser + beam".
21. Use of bracket [ ] option: (Works only in Title Field) :
e.g."Laser+ [carbon monoxide, infra red]" looks for carbon
monoxide lasers as well a infrared lasers.
Use of wildcard option:
e.g. use " * " for plural. In the Title field, the keyword "lamp*
" locates lamps as well as lamps.
Use of Not (#) option: (Works only in Title Filed):
e.g. microwave# [oven, antenna] locates all those records
which contain microwave without oven or antenna.
22. The above Tips for Searching is the same to all three
EKASWA-A, EKASWA-B and EKASWA-C. But the
difference is given below:
EKASWA –A = Patent applications filed in India as published in
the issues of the Gazette of India (Part III, Section 2) from
January 1995 onwards.) (January 1995 to December 2004)
EKASWA –B = (Patent applications notified for opposition in
the Gazette of lndia (Part III, Section 2) published from January
1995 onwards.) (January 1, 1995 to December 2004)
EKASWA- C = (Patent applications published in official journal
of patent office published from January 2005 to June 2007)
23. 3. EPIDOS-INPADOC
EPIDOS-INPADOC is complete database under the National
Informatics Centre (NIC). It is one of the most comprehensive
database on the Patent Bibliography. This database is known as
EPIDOS (European Patent Information and Document Service).
European Patent Office (EPO) publishes this database. EPO has
been receiving the bibliography of all the patents filed and
granted in approximately 71 countries since 1968. It contains
over 33 millions references from 1968 onwards. Almost 3
millions references are added each year. We live in the age of the
Information Technology (IT). The universal acceptance of the
power of IT to transform and accelerate the development
process, especially in developing economies is indisputable.

Select publishing country from the list in Equivalent Search and
enter the patent no.
27. 4. Canadian Patents Database (CIPO)
The Canadian Patents Database, which is maintained by the
Canadian Intellectual Property Office, contains more than two
million Canadian patents and published applications from 1869
to the present. This database lets you access 92 years of patent
descriptions and images. You can search, retrieve and study more
than 2,110,000 patent documents. Full-text images are available
from 1920 onward. Recent improvements include a few aesthetic
changes to the search interface and the inclusion of a
representative drawing (if available) displayed in the
bibliographic record. In addition, as of January
29, 2010, abstracts in both English and French are available for
applications field under the PCT.
31. C) Boolean Search
Type the words or phrases you want to search in one or all text
entry areas. Select the patent fields to be searched with the
selector to the right of each entry area. When using both
areas, choose the logical operator (OR or AND). You can get
the text field definitions or you can view example queries .
34. Conclusion :
Despite the advantages of patent documents as an information
sources, they are still an underutilized information source for
research and development, particularly in non-industry settings.
During the last decade, commercialization of research and
scholarly work in the sciences has been increasing significantly.
Therefore, the library needs to adopt a more systematic
approach to patent information support to the users.
