BRIAN STOCKDALE MEMORIAL AWARD
The annual Brian Stockdale Memorial Award was first presented in 2002 to provide
support to new members to attend an Annual Conference. The award was established in
honor of the late Brian Stockdale with initial funding by Technology and Patent Research
International and Thomson Scientific (now Thomson Reuters).
Anyone new to the patent information profession, having less than 3 years total
experience as a patent information professional or currently enrolled in a college or
university with a demonstrated interest in pursuing a career in patents, may submit
an essay detailing his or her experience and interest in patent information and need for support to attend the Annual
Conference.
The award consists of up to $2000 to cover travel and expenses plus registration in the conference, provided by PIUG. In
addition, sponsors of fee-based workshops at the conferences may offer free registration as part of the award package.
This award is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Brian Stockdale who travelled extensively throughout the world imparting
his knowledge of patent searching. Brian’s career encompassed positions with Derwent, SmithKline Beecham, and
Technology and Patent Research International. As Brian was so well known internationally and trained many patent
information professionals, his work was highly regarded. Brian always relished each new search as a challenge and loved
working with the people in this industry.
Brian is dearly remembered by his friends and colleagues most of all for his dry wit, keen intellect, and ease of meeting
people and socializing wherever he went. As one of the world’s most talented patent information search professionals, he
is sorely missed. This is our tribute to his personal dedication in training colleagues, particularly those new to the field of
chemical patent searching.

Taming the dragon: how to tackle CN legal event data
Jutta Haußer, European Patent Office
9:00 – 10:00 am
ABSTRACT
When talking about prior art search, the huge amount of patent and utility model applications
being filed in China, most without other family members, it seems sometimes like we have to face a
terrific monster. When – in case of FTO searches – we even have to understand and interpret – the
corresponding legal event data – the monster even changes into the legendary dragon. However,
we invite you to tame this dragon together: We will define what is considered a legal event in China,
what kind of information is available and where, discuss when an event is legally effective and how
INPADOC legal event classification assists you in interpreting your findings. Finally, we will look at
different case studies and show how analysing legal event information can support your business
decisions.
You are welcome to send your own cases beforehand and/or propose them during the workshop.
BIOGRAPHY
Jutta Haußer studied Japanese and Chinese studies at the University of Munich (Germany) and
holds a PhD in Japanese Studies. She has spent several years in Taiwan and Japan doing research.
From 1992 to 2005, she was assistant professor at the University of Munich, LMU. She joined the
European Patent Office in 2007. As a member of the EPO’s Asian patent information team, now
Worldwide IP Knowledge, she was originally mainly responsible for facilitating access to and
monitoring Japanese patent information, but is now also covering a broader range, including China
and other jurisdictions. She regularly gives seminars on Asian patent information.PIUG 2021 Annual Conference WORKSHOPS 5

WIPO’s global patent database PATENTSCOPE: what’s new?
Sandrine Ammann, WIPO
10:15 – 11:15 am
ABSTRACT
Patent families, NPL and Markush search now available in PATENTSCOPE
New in 2021 in PATENTSCOPE:
Patent family information for all documents. Patent family information allows to group the results
so that the same invention appear only once to save time going through the results and
translation efforts if the same document is available in different languages; free of charge
Markush search available since April 2021 in PATENTSCOPE. Markush structures are commonly
used in patent documents in order to protect whole classes of compounds with common
properties.
Non-Patent Literature (NPL) has started to be made available in PATENTSCOPE so that all the search,
translation and sort features of PATENTSCOPE can be applied to NPL as well. IPC codes are
available for NPL through automatic allocation.
• Over the years, the World Intellectual Property Organization ‘s global patent database PATENT-
SCOPE has been evolving from a database containing only published PCT applications to a data-
base that contains now, on top of the published PCT applications, more than 60 collections shared
by national and regional patent offices.
• Also over the years, the search functionalities and result analysis have been developed in order
to include, to name a few, the chemical search, thepossibility to search in many different languages,
the sorting of the results according to different criteria and built-in house and trained on patent
data translation tool.
All the search features, analysis and translation tools in PATENTSCOPE are available free of charge.
BIOGRAPHY
Sandrine Ammann joined WIPO many years ago as a translator and after obtaining a degree in
management and communication she is now in charge of the communication related to the WIPO
Global Databases namely the Brand and Design Databases and PATENTSCOPE that will be presented
in the workshop.PIUG 2021 Annual Conference WORKSHOPS 9

The changing face of patent software solutions,
what’s next on the horizon at Minesoft?
Tim Campbell, Minesoft
11:30 am – 12:30 pm
ABSTRACT
Eight months after the release of PatBase 2.0, Tim Campbell will discuss how the latest iteration of
PatBase has been received by Users across North America and internationally and what has been
added since. Most notably, the Export Module has been completely revamped and is now much
faster, with clearer formatting and is more convenient to use.
Tim will explore some of the neat new features added to PatDocs, a multi-use application to assist
with all your IP legal operations. PatDocs has many time-saving features including downloadable
legal documents and reports, and family tree mapping. Minesoft’s PAIR Alertsare included in
PatDocs and have now been expanded to include some internationalcoverage.
With colleagues working from home or across locations and borders, it’s easy to feel disconnected
due to lack of face-to-face contact, everyday conversations and even a generally interrupted
schedule. Tim will end the session by explaining how you can get reconnected with Minesoft’s
IPShare, a new, innovative application designed to help your team connect more effectively.

GenomeQuest Discover Analysis –
Prioritization and Annotation Strategies
Steve Allen, GenomeQuest
11:30 am – 12:30 pm
ABSTRACT
The GenomeQuest Discover browser can aid in preparing and reporting prioritized data through
filtering, annotation of key items, and specific sorts that present the data in an organized fashion. For
example, there may be interest in assessing the current status of an antibody, and whether or not it
may go off patent. Preparing a report for legal analysis that clearly indicates the priority data can be
critical. This can be challenging, particularly for older IP that can return hundreds of thousands of
hits.
We will review some of the techniques and interfaces to prepare reports, including a search of six
antibody CDR sequences. These techniques can be applied in other areas as well.
BIOGRAPHY
Steve Allen joined Aptean GenomeQuest in September of 2017, he is the Solutions Consultant for

Resistance Isn’t Futile:
a Searcher’s Experience of EPO Oppositions
Robert Austin (Unilever PLC, Unilever Patent Group)
9:30 – 10:05 am
ABSTRACT
Innovation is at the heart of Unilever’s ambition to grow sustainably. Science, technology and
product development are central to our plans to keep providing consumers with great brands that
improve their lives while having a positive impact on the environment and society. Working as either
Opponent or Proprietor in ongoing opposition proceedings at the European Patent Office, is an
important part of the day-to-day efforts of the Unilever Patent Group supporting these plans and
helping to maximise the potential of the company’s R&D investments. In this talk I will highlight the
key role of Patent Information Analysts, supporting our Patent Attorneys in their work protecting
Unilever brands during opposition proceedings. I will include a few facts, figures and search tips, and
hopefully provide a little evidence that Resistance isn’t always futile.
BIOGRAPHY
Robert Austin joined Unilever as a Patent Information Analyst in 2016. In this role he supports the
work of Unilever Patent Group Attorneys, conducting a variety of patentability, freedom-to-operate,

“Not Invented Here” –
Some Challenges in Identifying the Origin of Innovation from
Patent Priority Data.
Stephen Adams (Magister Ltd.)
10:05 – 10:40 am
ABSTRACT
Many statistical studies of bibliographic patent literature include an analysis of priority country, as a
standard ranking parameter. The usefulness of such an analysis is predicated upon the assumption
that these data are a key to the geographic origin of the relevant research and development
activities. In some cases, national “innovation league tables” are compiled using such information,
which purport to show “world-leading” economies. We will consider the impact of national foreign-
filing policies, specific bilateral agreements to recognise priority, filing at regional patenting
authorities and under the PCT, and standards for recording priority data which will enter our search
databases.
BIOGRAPHY

Evolving Patent Strategies in the Age of Software and Digital
Revolution
Debra L Banville (DLBanville LLC)
11:00 – 11:35 am
ABSTRACT
Warren Buffett coined the term “Economic Moat” to describe the competitive advantage one
company has over other companies within a given industry. In 2018, Elon Musk criticized Warren’s
“economic moats” strategy as defensive, saying the “pace of innovation” is more important. I believe
the “truth is in the middle.” Any good business strategy requires a defense (a moat) and an offense
(innovation) if you want to play the “long game.” Patent analysis is increasingly demanding an
understanding of the larger evolving business context and our ability to articulate this context. My
presentation will look at the more holistic business-IP frameworks and provide illustrative examples.
BIOGRAPHY
Debra Banville is a Business specialist and consultant. She focuses on helping large and small
businesses create actionable insights across various technology areas from biobased to electronics/

COVID-19 Vaccines in Context:
a Look at the mRNA Technology IP Landscape
Matt Eberle (BizInt)
1:45 – 2:15 pm
ABSTRACT
Our COVID-19 vaccine dashboard aims to place COVID-19 vaccines in context. The primary
visualization is a bullseye plotting the movement of vaccinations from initial clinical trials to
authorization. Dividing the vaccines by technology allows for comparison. Are the majority of
vaccines in clinical trials using the same type of technology as the authorized vaccines? We can also
build a piano chart with the same data, which allows us to include additional information. The piano
included in our dashboard adds country for highest phase. In order to focus on the critical element
of time, we built a timeline of trials for key vaccines, initially aimed at understanding when a vaccine
might be available. The dashboard visualizations look at COVID-19 vaccines overall. With two of the
first approved vaccines being RNA vaccines, can we look to IP to see why? We’ll use the same data-
driven visualization approach that we used with the broader dashboard to focus on a single vaccine
technology.

Minimizing Patent Search Infodemics
Yateen Pargaonkar (Riser IP LLC) and
Edlyn Simmons (Simmons Patent Information Service, LLC)
3:25 – 4:00 pm
ABSTRACT
An “infodemic” is defined as an excessive amount of information concerning a problem such that
the solution is made more difficult. For patent search results, infodemics can refer to either a large
quantity of irrelevant records or missing many important records. Knowing how to turn voluminous
patent data to usable and reliable patent intelligence is not easy and it can lead to patent search
infodemics. Democratization of patent search tools with access to patent data has raised the
expectation that at least preliminary patent searching can be done by anyone.
If executed correctly, conventional boolean and/or newer AI augmented patent searching can
generate a triage of patents of interest. However, minor differences in choice of keywords, boolean
search operators, classification codes, value-added indexing, citations, inventor names, assignee
names, and/or usage of different databases can cause patent search “infodemics”. It is hard for
the occasional or newer patent searcher to have a grasp on the idiosyncrasies of patent data,
source documentation, and advanced patent search concepts. With carefully chosen examples,
this presentation highlights the common mistakes made during patent searching and provides a
framework for better patent searches.

Best Practices for Reporting on Patent Information
from a Patent Attorney Perspective
Susanne Hantos (Davies Collison Cave Pty Ltd)
4:00 – 4:35 pm
ABSTRACT
Reporting search results in a clear and useful manner is just as important as conducting the search well.
Reporting can take many different formats, but there are some fundamental aspects that apply to all
search reports. As a patent attorney, I have seen some stellar reports and some not-so-stellar reports. In this
presentation, I will discuss the do’s and don’ts of reporting search results.
