Patent Info for Researchers and Inventors
Below, we've provided some links to resources that you may find valuable with regard to patenting.
First, links to Nolo Press online resources and books. Nolo Press is a publisher, widely known in the US as one of the best legal resources for non-lawyers. Their books & online materials (e.g., PTO forms) will help you navigate invention and patenting – step-by-step.
Second, links to patent databases, search tools & services (including DOE Clean Energy patent databases) that enable patent research, prior art searches & patent landscape mapping. Some services are fee-based but are examples of the types of services available.
We hope these resources are of interest and value and I encourage you to let us know what you think.
