Patent iNSIGHT Pro Announces Training Partnership for IP Institutes

Pune, India, March 16, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Gridlogics is pleased to announce the launch of its Training Partnership for Patent Training Institutes world-wide. Under the partnership Patent Insight Pro will provide Two fully functional free licenses of Patent Insight Pro - Analysis Edition to these institutes for use by students and faculty. Experts at Patent iNSIGHT Pro will also provide free online or in-person training to students on patent analysis method and how to use the software.

The solution of choice for many patent information professionals across firms worldwide, Patent Insight Pro is built to complement every stage of Patent Search and Analytics process - Patent Search and Set Creation, Patent Data Cleanup and Grouping, Patent Mapping & Analytics, Report Generation and Presentation. Since the last 3 years the solution has helped clients significantly cut down the time required for generating various patent reports and maps.

Speaking on the development, Manish Sinha, CTO of Gridlogics said "Many IP searchers and information professionals are still used to preparing manual reports of patent searches. This may help R&D teams but as IP strategy is becoming key to company strategy, management teams are consulting with their IPR heads on key aspects of R&D, product and licensing strategies who in turn request for charts, graphs and other visualizations that help simplify making sense of patent data. So it is important that patent information professionals understand methods and means of analyzing patents in addition to search, drafting and prosecution know-how."

Education institutes who train students to become patent agents, patent information or service professionals can deploy these licenses in their libraries / labs and students can use them for learning and for their projects. The motivation for Gridlogics is also to increase awareness and availability od qualified professionals knowledgeable in the product. As more and more companies deploy Patent iNSIGHT Pro, they require information professionals that are proficient in using the software. "Usually companies come back to use for training the new joinees, however now they may be able to locate already trained professionals too", adds Manish.
