There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Patents are a vital source of information on new innovations and emerging technologies. This free workshop will cover the basics of patent documentation, classification, and public web-based search tools. Participants will learn how patent data and databases are organized and also learn how to: 1) identify and interpret the component parts of a patent; and 2) conduct a basic patent search.
