Le meilleur de la recherche compte

Search Matters is an annual event that showcases the EPO's patent search strategies and techniques as well as the various publicly accessible databases and search programs. The main objective of the event is for patent searchers and analysts to improve how they search by gaining an in-depth understanding of the way EPO examiners perform their searches on patent applications.

Topics for presentation at Search Matters are subject to a strict internal selection procedure. These web pages offer material on the best presentations from recent years - those which were positively received by attendees and are of lasting relevance and wide applicability.

The material, intended for self-paced learning, is divided into four sections for easy access. It takes the form of presentation slides and recordings and articles from a special edition of the journal World Patent Information which originated as Search Matters presentations.
