No easy cure for patent problems.

No easy cure for patent problems
' ANALYSIS
There is an ever-growing glut of patent and related information swilling around global databases and libraries. But what makes the search task of professional patent researchers even harder is that that information is not always input in a standardised way and is increasingly likely to be filed in an East Asian language.
No wonder, then, that tracking down a patent can be horribly reminiscent of looking for a needle in a haystack. And to do their job properly, professional researchers have to find that needle A- every single time.
Despite these problems, an undercurrent of optimism was evident among delegates at the recent Information Retrieval Facility symposium held in Vienna.
The Information Retrieval Facility (IRF) is a platform designed to encourage dialogue and co-operation between patent and information retrieval professionals, who can compare experiences in their respective fields.
