The practical part of the seminar allowed the participants not only to gain theoretical knowledge, but also to consolidate it in practice by studying examples of patent search in real cases. Many participants noted the value of skills in working with classifications and filters when searching for technical solutions. The event ended with a question and answer session, during which experts provided detailed explanations and shared recommendations on the organization of patent research.
