The ANSERA-based SEARCH tool for beginners

This course is intended for examiners from national patent offices having no or only very basic knowledge of the ANSERA-based SEARCH tool.

Recordings introducing the tool's functionalities, as well as example searches, are provided to participants in advance of the virtual classes and discussed during online sessions with EPO tutors. In addition, an online forum enables participants to further interact with each other and with tutors.

The course focuses on powerful new search options, changes to workflow which allow for more efficient searching, the advanced user interface and a new functionality allowing users to save intellectual input directly as documents.

This activity is planned in Q3 2026. Exact dates and details to be announced.
