Minesoft: Advances in Efficient Technology Searching with Biotech Taxonomies Andrew Klein, Principle Solution Consultant, Minesoft 9:00 am - 10:00 am  DESCRIPTION Prior art search and review presents unique challenges to the information professional in every discipline. However, perhaps nowhere could this be more true than in the biotech space. Keeping up with the latest research and developments can be difficult, and there is a wide breath of technology domains within scope – including small molecule compounds, biologics, gene targets, diseases, applications, medical devices, and more. This reality requires the biotech searcher to possess or instinctively acquire or leverage especially broad domain knowledge, all just to do their job efficiently. Join Andrew Klein, Principal Solution Consultant at Minesoft, for a review of current industry best practices for addressing these challenges and the contributions that Minesoft are making towards eliminating the most common hurdles that still remain.  BIOGRAPHY Andrew Klein is Principal Solution Consultant at Minesoft. Andrew has a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN and a Master of Library Science degree from Indiana University in Bloomington. Andrew has consulted with corporations and law firms around the world on best practices for using patent intelligence for prosecution, competitive intelligence, technology landscaping, licensing, IP strategy development, portfolio management, and more.
