Dear Moderator, I shall be grateful if you could post the following announcement of Curran Associates Inc., New York, who are the world's premier conference proceedings specialists and have been supplying proceedings published by 500 scholarly societies, professional associations and publishers to libraries around the world since 1984. Thanking you, Yours sincerely, M.N. SeetharamanCountry Representative of Curran Associates in India ======================================================================================================================= CURRAN ASSOCIATES INC., REDHOOK, NEW YORK, USA To Our Valued Customers, Published proceedings of international conferences organized by scholarly societies, professional associations and other publishers are considered as vital sources of information about new research breakthroughs, innovations, methodologies and best practices, particularly in the fields of science, engineering and technology. It is only at important national and international conferences that these research findings are reported and debated for the first time long before their formal publication in journals etc. Therefore, conference proceedings have become as one of the most essential ingredients for the success of scientific, technical and academic research and training. For more than 25 years, Curran Associates Inc. has been one of the world’s premier conference proceedings specialists. In recent years, many conference proceedings have shifted from printed format to electronic. Though electronic media provides some advantage, there are many users who prefer print. In order to continue to satisfy our library clients that prefer print, Curran Associates has secured agreements with hundreds of publishers to produce printed versions of conference proceedings from their electronic media. These printed versions are not available from the original publishers. The books are printed and assembled with a perfect bind, using a soft cover (100# semigloss cover stock). They are professional, sturdy, clean, and filled with the same research provided on the electronic media. For an updated listing of all of our titles, please visit our website at www.proceedings.com, where you can browse by publisher or by thirteen different categories. Please check back from time to time, as we are continually adding new titles. We look forward to continuing our relationship and working with you to satisfy your unmet needs for printed conference proceedings.

One Day Training Programme on Digital Content Copyright: Challenges to Libraries
by Shibu Ray. S 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

Sir, Kindly circulate the mail to all users. Inter University Centre for IPR Studies, in association with HRD Chair on IPR, Cochin University of Science and Technology & Kerala Library Association, Ernakulam region is conducting One Day Training Programme on Digital Content Copyright: Challenges to Libraries Date : September 17, 2011 Venue : Cochin University of Science and Technology Objectives of the One Day Training Programme Historically, libraries assume a major role in the process of information dissemination. They always tried to balance the promotion of access to information and the interests of the publishers and authors. This is upset with the advent of new technologies. The challenges to be addressed by the libraries in the near future centers around digitization of copyright contents, which permits multiple use and reduces copyright owners’ control over works. Technological Protection Measures (TPM) and restriction on permitted uses are some of the modes used to overcome this. However, these measures jeopardize the freedom of libraries to facilitate access to information, which is the main objective of copyright protection. This awareness programme attempts to shed light on the challenges posed by the Indian Copyright Act on the functions of libraries. Technical Sessions • General Introduction to Copyright Law • The Role of Libraries in Information Dissemination under the Indian Copyright Act • Technological Protection Measures and its impact on Libraries Target Audience The training programme is essentially targeted to the Library professionals and LIS students. Individuals concerned with copyright laws related to libraries and information centres would also benefit from the programme. Registration: Registration Fees: Free (Working Lunch and Tea will be provided). Seats Limited to 50 on first come first serve basis. Last date for registration : August 31, 2011 For detailed programme and online registration visit http://ciprs.cusat.ac.in/dcccl.php Address for communication: Director, Inter University Centre for IPR Studies, School of Legal Studies Building, Cochin University of Science and Technology, Cochin University P.O., Cochin - 682022, Kerala.

Article: Importance of patent search in pharma industry
by Bindu 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

Dear Friends, Greetings! I am happy to share my article entitled "Importance of patent search in pharma industry" that recently got published in Pharmabiz. Have a look: <http://www.pharmabiz.com/ArticleDetails.aspx?aid=63612&sid=21> http://www.pharmabiz.com/ArticleDetails.aspx?aid=63612&sid=21 Bindu Sharma Thursday, June 23, 2011, 08:00 Hrs [IST] A patent is a statutory right granted by Government to the inventor of a novel, non-obvious and industrially useful invention. Patents work differently in different industries and they have always played a vital role in pharmaceutical industry worldwide and in India especially after compliance with TRIPs obligations and implementation of product patent regime. Patent protection for pharmaceutical products is more important compared to other industries because the actual manufacturing process is often easy to replicate and can be copied even though the actual cost of research and clinical testing is huge. The high cost of research, lengthy gap between discovery and approval of new drug certainly needs attention in pharmaceutical industry to make sure that research is carried in right direction and is not mere duplication of work done by others. Effective patent search before planning research can not only save huge amount of time and resources but also can ensure quality output from research. Patent search The word "patent search" or "prior-art" means any information that relates to the knowledge, existing prior to the invention/idea in the form of patent, scientific literature, knowledge or publication. The prior-art search is often performed by a person who is expert in domain and patent law and is performed at various levels and the purpose of doing it may vary depending upon the requirements. Various patent and non-patent databases are used to conduct the search. The main reasons for which prior art search is done are: * Before planning R & D in order to assess the work already done by others, plan research and prevent duplication of work. * Before filing patent to identify closely related literature. It is highly recommended to perform patent search to prevent filing patent application on existing knowledge resulting in waste of time and money. * During opposition if one wants to oppose or revoke a patent/patent application on the ground of "Lack of novelty", or "obviousness" or other statutory grounds. * Before product launch in specific market, it is essential to perform prior art search or "freedom to operate analysis" to make sure that launching the product does not infringe any third party's patent rights. Types of patent search There are different types of prior art searches for different purposes but broadly patent search can be classified in to five main categories namely: a) Patentability or Novelty search (PAS) b) Freedom To Operate (FTO) c) Validity or Invalidity search d) State of the Art Search e) Technology Landscape Analysis A. Patentability search (PAS) "Patentability search", also known as "Novelty search" is the most common type of search on patent/non-patent literature to assess patentability of the invention. While patentability search can be performed much earlier during the development of an invention, it is more commonly performed prior to submitting a patent application. B. Freedom To Operate (FTO) FTO search, also known as "Clearance search" or "Right to use searches" is conducted prior to launching a new product to check the patents that are in force in a country to ensure that upon launching the product, the company is not infringing any patent (s) of third party. FTO search is limited to patents that are 'in-force' and it requires in-depth analysis of the claims and legal status of patents identified. FTO is usually done jurisdiction-wise because patent rights are specific to jurisdiction, and FTO analysis should relate to particular countries or regions where a company wants want to operate. If the company wants to launch products in the US, FTO is required to be done in the US alone but if the products have to be exported to four other countries, FTO shall be done in other four countries as well. C. Invalidity/Validity Search The purpose of validity/invalidity search is to determine whether a patent issued on an invention is valid or not in view of prior art. The main reason to performing this search is to either validate or invalidate one or more claims of a patent. In other words, when a search is conducted to validate the claims of a given patent, it is called Patent Validity Search and when it determined to invalidate the claims of a given patent then it is called Patent Invalidity Search. D. State of the Art search The State of the Art search is the broadest and the most general of all types of patent searches. It is essentially a market survey that ideally finds out what technologies already exist. State of the Art search results are valuable in many situations especially when a company is contemplating entry into a particular field of art. The State of the Art search results may provide concrete evidence of the advisability of such a decision. To a company that is currently active in a particular field of art, the State of the Art search results may lay out the path that must be followed to design around the current art. E. Technology landscape Technology landscape is an in-depth analysis of patents to understand the technology evolution, major players, current and upcoming competitors and changes in the timeline trend. The main purpose of technology landscape is to identify the white space or gap in the technology and it provides a comprehensive scope to plan the future R & D, leading to innovative projects to bring out new products/process in an industry. The main purpose of technology landscapes study is to understand the technology trends, strength of competitors, to learn latest technology advancement and analyse the patent activity related to technology of interest. Based on technology landscape analysis, appropriate IP strategy, complaint with business strategy is devised for the companies because a good IP strategy is a critical part of business plan and growth at any stage. Conclusion As pharmaceutical industry is heavily based on the patents, appropriate patent search can be extremely useful in devising patent strategy, planning research in right direction, having opinion of patentability of the invention and getting complete technology landscape. Patent search is an effective tool that not only gives quality and visibility to the research output but minimizes patent infringement risks before product launch.

E-LIS logo design competition now open!
by Imma Subirats 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

***Apologies for cross posting*** Dear all, The Executive Board of E-LIS, the electronic archive for librarianship and information science, is seeking for interesting and pleasant proposals for revamping its logo. The Executive Board proceeds to this revamping in a wide frame of activities that aim to improve the processes and the image of the initiative. The new logo should highlight the characteristics of ELIS as an open, collaborative, international effort in the field of library and information science. The new logo should carry on the same color combinations. Designers are free to move on shades of the same palette to get their logo, but it is advised to work on the same color orientation. The designers are free to employ shapes, drawings and typography to convey the meaning of the E-LIS as a collaborative, international effort in the field of library and information science. It is wished that these logo elements can stand alone in an identifiable fashion. The new logo should be usable in different media, such as paper or computer screen, colors, such as RGB or monochrome, as well as sizes and resolutions. The designers can use their preferred programs, but to submit their proposals in EPS formats. Please be sure that your proposal has the adequate resolution that will highlight all its virtues under different conditions. You can submit your proposals to Imma Subirats <imma.subirats(a)fao.org> and Giannis Tsakonas <john(a)lis.upatras.gr> by 30th September. Please use the following subject line: "E-LIS New Logo Proposal". All proposals will be presented to the E-LIS team, who will be able to support their preference through Doodle. The final decision will be taken by the Executive Board, which is going to take into account the proposals as well as the preference each one has gathered. The results will be announced by the end of October and the winner in this informal competition will receive a technological device, partially founded by the Spanish Ministry of Culture, Office of Library Co-ordination.
