Applying for Patents

I have just uploaded on the IP/IT-Update website a short article on applying for patents. This is not a "how to" guide. I am not a patent agent and always advise my clients to go to someone who is. Instead, it is an introduction to some of the many useful articles and publications from the Patent Office, European Patent Office, WIPO, British Library and other places. It also mentions the PATLIB libraries and the excellent work of Alison and Chris at the Manchester Central Library and Ged and Stef in Leeds in operating their clinics and inventors' groups. Finally, I have mentioned the work HIP is doing in Huddersfield and Bradford and Ideas21 in Liverpool and Manchester as well as Blackburn.
