Author

Abstract

The new member states of the EPC will require assistance whilst developing their patent information services. The 13 PATLIB libraries of the UK offer diverse services to a diverse customer base and would have much to offer information officers in the new EPC States. An audit of the skills and experience within the UK PATLIBs was conducted. The results provide suitable information for the construction of programmes of mentoring and training. This audit consists of more than those skills relating to the use and dissemination of patent information. Assets such as language skills and cultural and economic connections with East European States were also investigated.
