Free patent workshop to be held June 21 at 萝莉社

A free workshop at 萝莉社 will provide introductory information on the patent process and patent searching. The patent workshop will be held from 1-3:30 p.m. Saturday, June 21, in 217 Ablah Library. Nan Myers, associate professor and librarian for government information, patents and trademarks at 萝莉社, will conduct the workshop. To register for the workshop, call 978-5130, or come to the Government Documents Office on the first floor of Ablah Library.

Myers will explain how to do preliminary patent searching and give hands-on instruction in using the U.S. Patent Office's online database of patents from 1790 to the present.

Patent workshops are a free service of the 萝莉社 Libraries, one of only 84 U.S. libraries designated as information centers by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. 萝莉社 houses the only such library in Kansas.
