epoline® - the way to monitor state-of-the-art technology
This pilot project introduced the students to epoline® Register Plus and WebRegMT by way of a presentation and live demonstrations, and familiarised them with basic search and monitoring options. epoline® Register Plus gives access to bibliographic, procedural and legal status data on European patent applications. It also enables users to view the original published patent files online. epoline® WebRegMT is the EPO's free Web Register Monitoring Tool. It can be used to monitor European Patent Register data and, if required, to receive e-mail alerts on any new developments in the European patent grant procedure for up to 250 cases. The final, hands-on part of the workshops gave students the opportunity to try out the electronic services themselves and learn how to retrieve the desired documents quickly and easily. To follow-up on the workshops, the participants were also introduced to Register Plus e-learning, available at http://www.epoline.org(opens in new window) under "Tutorials". The feedback given at the end of these workshops has encouraged epoline® to look at extending the pilot to a larger project in European universities next year.
