Best Practices for Reporting on Patent Information from a Patent Attorney Perspective Susanne Hantos (Davies Collison Cave Pty Ltd) 4:00 – 4:35 pm

 ABSTRACT Reporting search results in a clear and useful manner is just as important as conducting the search well. Reporting can take many different formats, but there are some fundamental aspects that apply to all search reports. As a patent attorney, I have seen some stellar reports and some not-so-stellar reports. In this presentation, I will discuss the do’s and don’ts of reporting search results.  BIOGRAPHY Susanne Hantos is Senior Patent Counsel and the Manager of the Patent Intelligence Services division of Davies Collison Cave Pty Ltd, an Asia-Pacific intellectual property law firm.
