Freedom-to-operate Searching: What’s in the Tube?Tom Wolff (Wolff Information Consulting LLC)

9:30 – 10:00 am

ABSTRACT

Presentations on freedom-to-operate searching have been made by me and others at recent PIUG

Conferences. Some have covered the whole process of FTO searching from defining the scope of

the search to presenting the results, while others have concentrated on various biological matters.

This presentation will cover formulations or compositions with multiple components. These could

be the kinds of products that consumers would find in tubes, cans, bottles or dispensers on retail-

ers’ shelves. Non-chemists should be able to relate to other fields and matters, such as devices with

many parts or methods with many steps. This talk will focus on how to develop search strategies

that allow staying within budget and yield appropriate information from which the client’s attorney

may render a freedom-to-operate opinion.

BIOGRAPHY

Thomas E. Wolff, Ph. D, formed Wolff Information Consulting LLC in 2006 to provide technical and

patent information services in the chemical arts on a contract basis. Tom works directly with patent

attorneys in law firms and at chemical and consumer products companies large and small, as well

Creating and Delivering Innovation Intelligence (One-Hour Master Class)Nat Brooks (Strategy Shapers LLC)

10:50 – 11:50 am

ABSTRACT

In this presentation, we’ll explore the vital intersection of competitive intelligence and IP analysis.

We’ll look at how understanding technical capabilities and intellectual property is critical to assess-

ing rival strategies, innovation options and in-market actions. We’ll make the case for developing

a more comprehensive “innovation intelligence toolkit” that cuts across traditional IP analysis and

market analytics. We’ll also look at how some firms use IP analysis as part of developing innovation

plans and projects. We’ll examine different analysis objectives and techniques that can increase the

impact of traditional IP analyses. These different objectives and techniques will be demonstrated

through numerous case studies that cover the consumer products, industrial manufacturing and

high tech industries. The presentation will be interactive with plenty of time allowed for questions

and discussion.

The Many Faces of DerwentKimberly Miller (Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research)

1:30 – 2:00 pm

ABSTRACT

Markush searching used to be focused around two primary databases: CAS Marpat and Questel

MMS. Enter the new STN platform and suddenly chemistry searchers find themselves knee deep in

resources: classic STN Marpat, WPI and Questel MMS, new STN Marpat and DWPIM. If a searcher has

access to the old and the new, which is “better”? This presentation will focus on aspects of search-

ing the Derwent files; MMS (DWPX and PHARM) vs. new STN (DWPI/DWPIM/DCR) in a case study.

Particularly, it will address how answer sets differ from one platform to the other, what you need to

be aware of when using superatoms (HEA, HEF etc.) vs. CA generics (Hy, Cb etc.) and provide tips for

comprehensive patent searching.

BIOGRAPHIY

Patent Topical AnalyticsAlan Porter (Search Technology, Inc.)

2:00 – 2:30 pm

ABSTRACT

Recent “Big Data” excitement is prompting efforts to advance various data analytics. Data science ap-

proaches (machine learning, topic modeling, auto-classification, etc.) offer prospects of more effective

intelligence being derived from various technical information resources. Our interest is in patent ana-

lytics, expressly on identification of topics. This presentation shares our experimentation with patent

abstract record analyses. It keys on two dimensions: 1) which data fields provide the best resources for

topical investigation? And 2) what data treatment works best? We share results from an ongoing study

of “autonomous systems” patents. We compare results based on use of alternative data fields: title and

abstract NLP (Natural Language Processing) phrases from Derwent Innovation Index vs. those from

PatStat; comparing to content deriving from Claims and to patent class information. We concurrently

compare alternative term cleaning and consolidation routines on those NLP phrases by feeding those

into further routines (e.g., PCA factor generation, Emergence Indicator generation) to assess what gives

the best results. The payoff is insight into more effective means to generate informative topical content.

BIOGRAPHY

Understanding the IP Landscape in Drug Discovery – Finding Complex Bioactivity Datasets Using Manually Excerpted DatabasesJim Rinker, Elsevier

3:40 – 4:10 pm

ABSTRACT

Painting a complete picture of the IP landscape for a drug discovery project or an entire therapeutic

area can be a daunting task. Biomedical search tools such as Pubmed, Embase, and Scifinder offer

extensive literature and patent coverage but are limited to searching either by chemical structure

or biomedical terms. This leaves the researcher with the daunting task of reviewing 100’s of articles

and patents, many of which contain irrelevant information, to ensure full coverage of the desired

landscape. Manually excerpted databases such as Reaxys and life science text mining tools such as

Pathway Studio offer greater insights for the researcher both for quick identification of relevant data

and also understanding this data within the context of a therapeutic area or disease state. Practical

use cases on how one can use these information search tools in better defining the IP landscape for

a project will be demonstrated.

BIOGRAPHY

Jim joined Elsevier in April of 2014 as a customer consultant responsible for the sale and retention of

Elsevier’s life science information solutions portfolio . In this position, Jim creates practical workflows

to solve complex drug discovery information problems utilizing multiple data sources. Prior to join-

ing Elsevier, Jim worked for 25 years as a synthetic organic and medicinal chemist in drug discovery

in the pharmaceutical industry. In addition to his work in the lab, he also spent several years working

as a cheminformatics specialist at both 3-Dimensional Pharmaceuticals and Janssen where he was

responsible for managing chemical data generated by the high throughput chemistry team and

compound selection for HTS from the virtual library collection.

The CPC as a Search Tool – Mind the Gap(s)Sarah W. Stokes (FIZ Karlsruhe)

4:10 – 4:35 pm

ABSTRACT

The Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) has been established as a high precision search tool for

accessing world-wide patent literature since its launch in 2013. However, expert users need to be

aware of the less obvious limitations related to coverage gaps, timeliness and reclassification issues

(invalid codes). This presentation will show which gaps need to be considered and give recommen-

dations how to make the most of the CPC and how to overcome these limitations with the example

of various STN databases such as CAplus, DWPI and INPADOC.

BIOGRAPHY

Sarah is currently a manager and trainer with FIZ Karlsruhe, based in North Carolina. She has been

working in training for nearly three decades and with STN for over 15 years. She spent many years as

an STN trainer with CAS and several years as a patent analyst at a large search firm before to joining

the team at FIZ-K. Prior to entering the IP world, Sarah worked as a Science Reference Librarian at a

large government library. Her academic background is primarily as an inorganic biochemist, study-

ing the geometry of protein metal binding sites via NMR.

Case Studies in the Use of Advanced Search Strategies for locating Prior ArtRon Kaminecki (Questel)

4:35 – 5:05 pm

ABSTRACT

Most searchers adopt a method of search techniques that includes the Building Block approach of stringing

together groups of keywords or classification codes and use Boolean operators to increase precision while

keeping recall reasonable. But what else can be done to help to improve results? This presentation will

cover several case studies discussing advanced search strategies that can be used on every search platform

along with an explanation of how these strategies work including a comparison of citations, keywords and

classifications. In addition, a strategy to help determine when a search is done will be covered.

BIOGRAPHY

Ron continues to help patent searchers, inventors, examiners, attorneys and other patent professionals in his

role at Questel and also as an adjunct professor in patent law at various universities, having worked at Dia-

log, Thomson-Reuters, Abbott Laboratories and others. He has worked with patent and patent information

all of his career as a searcher, manager, representative, consultant, expert witness and attorney and is also

involved in PIUG activities. He has written many articles and presented many papers in the field of patent

information, has a patent pending, and is a co-author of NISO Standard for a Common Command Language

for Online Interactive Information Retrieval. He has a BS in Chemistry, an MS in Computer Science and a JD
