Watch this training session to learn about both key word and classification searching for preparing and filing a patent application.
This important skill is used in the National Patent Application Drafting Competition (NPADC) which is a team competition that introduces law students to U.S. patent laws and regulations, and helps them develop patent application drafting skills.
