Patent mining

　　(1) Training target: enterprises and institutions that have a certain demand for various applications of patents and have a certain ability to use them, except patent applications. Have a certain patent foundation, a special intellectual property department in the enterprise, and intellectual property management personnel with certain patent-related knowledge.

　　(2) Course orientation: patent creation, intermediate courses and practical training.

　　(3) Training time: 4 class hours.

　　(4) Teaching content: Patent mining refers to the process of analyzing, sorting, splitting and screening the obtained technical achievements from the technical and legal levels in technology research and development or product development, so as to determine the technological innovation points and technical solutions for applying for patents, and it is a process of extracting the technological innovation points and solutions with patent application and protection value from the innovation results. Patent mining is at the front end of enterprise patent workflow, which has a far-reaching impact on patent management, application and protection in the later period. It is the foundation of enterprise patent work and is conducive to maximizing legal rights and commercial benefits and minimizing patent infringement risks. This course highlights the characteristics of patent mining through the process of gold panning, shows and explains all the steps in the whole process of patent mining through the case of "soap box", and puts forward three "grasping hands" to effectively carry out patent mining at the end of the course. Through this simple way, the purpose is to enable the trainees to understand and master the significance and specific process of patent mining as soon as possible, and to understand how enterprise managers and patent workers can carry out patent mining within the enterprise, so as to prompt the innovation achievements of the enterprise to be converted into patent applications in time, so as to obtain stronger patent protection.
