5.0 out of 5 stars Well-organized, well written, useful book, June 2, 2007

By	Skip (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Patent Searching: Tools & Techniques (Hardcover)

I bought this book on a whim, thinking that as an experienced patent searcher for over 10 years, it wouldn't teach me anything. I WAS WRONG! This book is very well organized and will be useful to the novice as well as the experiences searcher. I actually learned a number of useful techniques and tools and am recommending this book to my colleagues. Finally, a book that has pertinent complex information in one place for easy reference. Mr. Hunt is to be congratulated for his unambiguous writing style and format. Kudos to Amazon for letting me know it was available. Thanks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not many books out there like this !!!, March 13, 2008

By	Bishal Nepal (Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Patent Searching: Tools & Techniques (Hardcover)

I was looking for a good book to learn concepts on patent-searching, and this book--after a long search--satisfied my need. This book explains theoretical concepts behind patent searching and analytics, tells how to extract ideas from forward and backward citation, and pros-and-cons of online databases. I have read some books from NOLO, but they teach about online tools only, and such tools are obsolete by the time of finishing reading the book. This is the only book to go for as of March 2008.
