Message from the Chair
Welcome to the PIUG 2012 Northeast Conference!
This year brings a couple of changes to our conference, namely a new date and a new venue. We are very pleased to be able to hold our conference at the beautiful Heldrich Hotel in New Brunswick, NJ. This is the 3rd year that our conference will be a 5-day event, starting with the STN Patent Forum, followed by the plenary sessions, vendor-specific workshops and the Patent Fundamentals Course.
This conference would not be possible without the generous support from our sponsors or without the dedication of a small group of volunteers. A big THANK YOU goes out to each and every one of them.

U. S. Government Funding and Patented Research – Making the Connection between Patents and the Technical Literature
by Henry H. Murray, ExxonMobil Research and Engineering, Information Research and Analysis
Abstract
The United States Government funds billions of dollars of research in a wide variety of fields through varied institutions and organizations. Some of this work is patented as well as published in the technical literature. Given the different target audiences for patents and the technical literature, different information may be available in these related documents. A search technique that identifies a definitive connection between US patents and literature articles will be presented. This approach to technical searching can be used to identify additional prior art or relevant material that might otherwise be overlooked.
Biography
Hal Murray was formally trained as an inorganic chemist, Eastern Kentucky University and Yale University, and then broadened his background with postdoctoral studies at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, and Texas A&M University. After a year at Engelhard, Hal joined Exxon Research and Engineering in 1989 (now ExxonMobil Research and Engineering) as a researcher. In 1996 Hal joined the Information Research and Analysis Group. Hal is a member of the EI EnCompass vocabulary task force. In addition to patent searching, Hal’s other professional interests include competitive intelligence and data visualization.

Analysis and Visualization of Patent Information and Non-Patent Literature: Getting the Big Picture
by Donald Walter, Thomson Reuters
Abstract
There are lots of sources of information today, and it is only natural that different literatures reveal different views of the state of the art. Having a single set of tools to analyze patents, scientific literature and business information gives complementary perspectives on a technology, enabling more robust decision making. We will present a case study illustrating the breadth of understanding you can achieve in this way.
Biography
Donald Walter is a product specialist at Thomson Reuters where his primary job is to train users on Thomson Reuters’ databases and solutions, specializing in patent and chemical information. He also works with the Thomson Reuters Search Service, conducting searches and analyses for legal and industrial clients, with a special emphasis on pharmaceutical and chemical subjects. Since joining the company, which was then Derwent Information, in 1992, he has given many presentations at national meetings, and been invited to speak at international meetings. He learned his craft at Exxon Research and Engineering, conducting patent and scientific literature searching for clients in the legal and technical departments. Don received his Ph.D. from Yale University in Chemistry. He lives just outside Washington DC.

AIA’s Impact on the Scope and Timing of Patent Searching
by Brian Walsh, Bristol-Myers Squibb
Abstract
The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (“AIA”) transformed the U.S. patent system from a “first-to-invent” to a “first-to-file” system. The AIA also introduced some new post-grant trial proceedings, such as Post Grant Review and Inter Partes Review. We will discuss how our new “first-to-file” patent system and the new post-grant trial proceedings will change the scope and timing of patent searching.
Biography
Brian Walsh is a patent attorney at Bristol-Myers Squibb (“BMS”). Prior to joining BMS in 2011, Brian was a patent attorney with ZymoGenetics, Inc. in Seattle, WA from 2002 – 2011. From 2000 – 2002, Brian was a patent attorney at Mueting, Raasch and Gebhardt in Minneapolis, MN.
Brian received a J.D. from the University of Denver in 2000; a M.S. in Experimental Pathology from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in 1995; and a B.S. in Biology from the University of North Dakota in 1992.

CPC Update: Updates on EPO and USPTO’s Joint Cooperative Patent Classification System
By Christopher Kim, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
Abstract
The Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) is scheduled to be launched in a few months in January 2013.

The Markush Meatloaf
By Edlyn Simmons, Simmons Patent Information Service, LLC
Abstract
Everyone knows that understanding Markush structures is essential to understanding chemical patents. What is less well understood is that the Markush format is not restricted to chemical structures. This presentation will show how Markush language can be used in non-chemical disclosures, including a variable recipe for meatloaf.

Extracting new value from IFI CLAIMS Comprehensive Database
By Mike Baycroft, IFI Claims
Abstract
As the volume of technical and scientific literature continues to grow at an overwhelming rate, the business case for manual indexing and abstracting is rapidly eroding. In addition it is nearly impossible to scale our existing editorial resources fast enough to keep up with the pace and diversity of modern innovation. However in this age of big data, curated data collections like IFI’s Comprehensive Database have more relevance than ever in that high quality, classified data is essential training material for modern semantic technologies. Moreover these modern semantic tools are the only hope we have of maintaining the curated public and private document repositories that we need to support efficient R&D.
By looking one or more specific examples using IFI indexing to train semantic tools, we will discuss the importance of enabling a future for the otherwise dying art of manual data curation.
Biography
Mike is the founder and CEO of Fairview Research, LLC that acquired IFI CLAIMS Patent Services in 2010. He founded Fairview in 2006 after leaving Thomson Scientific where he was VP of Corporate Technology Solutions. Mike joined Thomson Scientific through the acquisition of Information Holdings Inc. (IHI) in 2004. He joined MicroPatent in 1994 where he led the development of MicroPatent’s internet products including PatentWeb, Aureka, and Trademark.com. Mike and his team at IFI are actively promoting CLAIMS Direct – an open data platform and web service providing access to the IFI CLAIMS Global Patent database.
