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

To help inventors and researchers conduct efficient patent search, the USPTO rolled out the brand new Patent Public Search database which replaces the legacy PubEAST and PubWEST systems. Patent Public Search is a more robust online platform that provides the public access to similar search tools used by patent examiners.
In this session, you will learn the basics of the search platform, features, documents tagging and other useful tools through search examples.
Audience: Inventors, entrepreneurs, students, researchers, and any one who has an interests in patent searching.
Prerequisite: View the Preliminary U.S. patent search: A step-by-step strategy video before class.
