Presentations sponsored by the Patent and Trademark Depository Library Association (PTDLA) at the American Library Association Annual Conference, New Orleans, June 25, 2006 Speaker #1: Nan Myers Associate Professor; Government Documents, Patents and Trademarks Librarian Wichita State University, Wichita, KS Title: Intellectual Property Roundup: Copyright, Trademarks, Trade Secrets, and Patents Abstract: This presentation provides a capsule overview of the distinctive coverage of the four types of intellectual property – What they are, why they are important, how to get them, what they cost, how long they last. Emphasis will be on what questions patrons ask most, along with the answers! Includes coverage of the mission of Patent & Trademark Depository Libraries (PTDLs) and other sources of business information outside of libraries, such as Small Business Development Centers. Speaker #2: Jan Comfort Government Information Reference Librarian Clemson University, Clemson, SC Title: Patents as a Source of Competitive Intelligence Information Abstract: Large corporations often have R&D departments, or large numbers of staff whose jobs are to monitor the activities of their competitors. This presentation will review strategies that small business owners can employ to do their own competitive intelligence analysis. The focus will be on features of the patent database that is available free of charge on the USPTO website, as well as commercial databases available at many public and academic libraries across the country. Speaker #3: Virginia Baldwin Professor; Engineering Librarian University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE Title: Mining Online Patent Data for Business Information Abstract: The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) website and websites of international databases contains information about granted patents and patent applications and the technologies they represent. Statistical information about patents, their technologies, geographical information, and patenting entities are compiled and available as reports on the USPTO website. Other valuable information from these websites can be obtained using data mining techniques. This presentation will provide the keys to opening these resources and obtaining valuable data. Speaker #4: Donna Hopkins Engineering Librarian Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY Title: Searching the USPTO Trademark Database for Wordmarks and Logos Abstract: This presentation provides an overview of wordmark searching in www.uspto.gov, followed by a review of the techniques of searching for non-word US trademarks using codes from the Design Search Code Manual. These codes are used in an electronic search, either on the uspto website or on CASSIS DVDs. The search is sometimes supplemented by consulting the Official Gazette. A specific example of using a section of the codes for searching is included. Similar searches on the Madrid Express database of WIPO, using the Vienna Classification, will also be briefly described.

Desarrollo de una metodología de vigilancia tecnológica para la toma de decisiones : aplicación a las tecnologías multimedia

La aplicación de la vigilancia tecnología se ha mostrado como una de las herramientas más importantes para ganar competitividad y mejorar las actividades de innovación de las empresas. La vigilancia se basa en captar las informaciones, normalmente patentes y publicaciones científicas, más relevantes para un determinado campo tecnológico y valorarlas para influir en la toma de decisiones. Las fases clásicas son: búsqueda, análisis y comunicación de la información. El trabajo se soportará tanto en herramientas comerciales como en otras que deberá desarrollar el estudiante, y tendrá como objetivo fundamental el desarrollar una metodología, basada en la vigilancia, para tomar decisiones sobre tecnologías y en este caso aplicadas a las tecnologías multimedia. El objetivo principal en la propuesta de una metodología genérica de vigilancia tecnológica (VT/IC) para la toma de decisiones con un ejemplo de aplicación en las tecnologías multimedia y que más adelante se explicitó en TV 3D. La necesidad de que el proceso de VT/IC se soporte en una metodología es imprescindible si queremos darle la importancia que debe tener en el ciclo productivo de cualquier tipo de organización y muy especialmente en una organización involucrada en investigación y desarrollo (I+D+i). Esta metodología posibilitará, entre otras cosas, que estos procesos que conforman la VT/IC puedan integrarse en una organización compartiendo los procesos productivos, de administración y de dirección de la organización. Permitirá una medición de su funcionamiento y las posibles modificaciones para obtener un mejor funcionamiento. Proveerá a los posibles elementos involucrados en la VT/IC de la documentación, procesos, herramientas, elementos de medición de un sistema definido, publicado, medido y analizado de trabajo. Finalmente a modo de ejemplo de un proceso de consulta VT/IC utilizaremos el criterio de búsqueda genérico 3D TV propuesto. Estructura del PFC: Para lograr estos objetivos el trabajo ha sido dividido en 6 etapas: 1.- Descripción del PFC: Una presentación del PFC y su desarrollo. 2.- Vigilancia tecnológica: Desarrollo del concepto de VT/IC, los efectos esperados, beneficios y riesgos de la VT/IC, concepto de inteligencia competitiva (IC), concepto aplicado de vigilancia tecnológica e inteligencia competitiva (VT/IC). 3.- Técnicas de análisis empresarial donde la VT/IC es útil: para empezar a entender como debe ser la VT/IC analizamos como una organización utiliza las distintas técnicas de análisis y que información aportan cada una de ellas, finalmente analizamos como la VT/IC ayuda a esas técnicas de análisis. 4.- Gestión de las fuentes de información: análisis de los tipos de fuentes de información y sus herramientas de búsqueda asociadas. 5.- Metodología propuesta de la VT/IC: desarrollo de la metodología de implementación y de funcionamiento de una unidad de VT/IC. 6.- Observatorio: a modo de ejemplo, “3d TV”. ABSTRACT. The application of surveillance technology has proven to be one of the most important to increase competitiveness and improve the innovation activities of enterprises tools. Surveillance is based on capturing the information, usually patents and scientific publications most relevant to a given technological field and assess them to influence decision making. The classical phases are: search, analysis and communication of information. The work will support both commercial and other tools to be developed by the student, and will have as main objective to develop a methodology, based on monitoring to make decisions about technologies and in this case applied to multimedia technologies. The main objective in the proposed generic methodology for technological awareness (VT / IC) for decision making with an example application in multimedia technologies and later made explicit 3D TV. The need for the process of VT / CI support methodology is essential if we give it the importance it should have in the production cycle of any organization and especially in an organization involved in research and development (R + D + i). This methodology will allow, among other things, that these processes that make up the VT / IC can be integrated into an organization sharing production processes, management and direction of the organization. It will allow a measurement of its performance and possible changes for better performance. It will provide the possible elements involved in the VT / IC documentation, processes, tools, measuring elements of a defined system, published, measured and analyzed work. Finally an example of a consultation process VT / IC use generic search criteria proposed 3D TV. Structure of the PFC: To achieve these objectives the work has been divided into 6 stages: 1. PFC Description: A presentation of the PFC and its development. 2. Technology Watch: Concept Development of VT / IC, expected effects, benefits and risks of VT / IC concept of competitive intelligence (CI) concept applied technology watch and competitive intelligence (VT / IC). 3. Business analysis techniques where VT / IC is useful: to begin to understand how it should be the VT / IC analyze how an organization uses different analysis techniques and information provide each finally analyze how the VT / IC helps these analysis techniques. 4. Management information sources: analysis of the types of information sources and their associated search tools. 5. proposed methodology VT / IC: methodology development and operational deployment of a unit of VT / IC. 6. Observatory: by way of example, "3D TV".

Diseño de una estrategia para la definición de proyectos a partir de la vigilancia tecnológica: aplicación a las interfaces naturales

A la hora de afrontar un proyecto de investigación, no basta con una vigilancia tradicional del entorno. Ya que debido a lo cambiante del mundo, a la globalización, a lo rápido que se desarrollan nuevas tecnologías y productos es preciso realizar un proceso sistemático que permita a las organizaciones o empresas anticiparse a los cambios tecnológicos. En este contexto, el diseño de metodologías basadas en la Vigilancia Tecnológica (VT) permite gestionar la actividad innovadora de organizaciones o empresas facilitando el proceso de generación de ideas para el desarrollo de productos o servicios. Es por ello que en este Proyecto de Fin de Grado se ha diseñado una estrategia para aplicar metodologías de Vigilancia Tecnológica aplicadas a un proyecto de I+D que estudia las Interfaces Naturales de Usuario (NUI). Para ello se ha partido de la metodología de trabajo basada en el proceso de Vigilancia Tecnológica e Inteligencia Competitiva del proyecto CETISME, identificando claramente cada una de las fases que lo componen: identificación de objetivos, selección de las fuentes de información, búsqueda y almacenamiento de la información, análisis de la información y por último validación de la información que concluye con la creación de informes de Vigilancia Tecnológica. Por lo tanto, para cada una de las fases que componen lo que comúnmente se llama el ciclo de la vigilancia, se ha explicado en primer lugar en qué consisten, que estrategias a seguir son las más adecuadas así como la manera de llevarlas a cabo, y por último, si fuera necesario, qué herramientas (desde bases de datos a software) son necesarias o son de utilidad para llevar a cabo el proceso y optimizarlo. De esta manera, como se verá a lo largo de este documento, la aplicación de dicha metodología permitirá a las organizaciones o empresas obtener situaciones ventajosas a la hora de innovar, captar oportunidades o detectar amenazas, identificar competidores o alianzas potenciales, entre otros. ABSTRACT. When taking over a research project, a traditional surveillance of the environment is not enough. Mainly due to the changing the world, to the globalization, to how fast new technologies and products are developed, is necessary to make a systematic process that enables organizations or companies anticipate to technological changes. In this context, the design of methodologies based on the Technology Watch (TW) allows managing the innovative activity of organizations or companies facilitating the process of generating ideas for products or services development. For this reason, in this Thesis a strategy for applying Technological Watch methodologies applied to a R&D project studying Natural User Interfaces (NUI) has been designed. To achieve this goal, the starting point was the CETISME project methodologies, which are based on the Technology Watch and the Competitive Intelligence process, clearly identifying each of the phases that compose it: identification of objectives, selection of the information sources, storage, search and analysis of the information, and finally validating the information that concludes with the creation of Technological Watch reports. Therefore, for each of the phases composing what is commonly known as the monitoring cycle, it has been explained in first place what they consist of, what strategies are more adequate as well as how they should be implemented, and finally, if necessary, what tools (from databases to software) are needed or are useful for managing the process and optimize it. Thus, as discussed throughout this document, the application of said methodology will allow organizations or companies to obtain advantageous situations when it comes to innovate, catch opportunities or detect threats, to identify competitors or potential alliances, among others.

The difficulty of measuring culture and diversity. Comparison of three international models of cultural measurement: FCS-2009, ESSnet-2012 and CAB-2015

The growing interest in quantifying the cultural and creative industries, visualize the economic contribution of activities related to culture demands first of all the construction of internationally comparable analysis frameworks. Currently there are three major bodies which address this issue and whose comparative study is the focus of this article: the UNESCO Framework for Cultural Statistics (FCS-2009), the European Framework for Cultural Statistics (ESSnet-Culture 2012) and the methodological resource of the “Convenio Andrés Bello” group for working with the Satellite Accounts on Culture in Ibero-America (CAB-2015). Cultural sector measurements provide the information necessary for correct planning of cultural policies which in turn leads to sustaining industries and promoting cultural diversity. The text identifies the existing differences in the three models and three levels of analysis, the sectors, the cultural activities and the criteria that each one uses in order to determine the distribution of the activities by sector. The end result leaves the impossibility of comparing cultural statistics of countries that implement different frameworks.

Inteligência coopetitiva setorial: uma proposta de modelo

The business environment context points at the necessity of new forms of management for the sustainable competitiveness of organizations through time. Coopetition is characterized as an alternative in the interaction of different actors, which compete and cooperate simultaneously, in the pursuit of common goals. This dual relation, within a gain-increasing perspective, converts competitors into partners and fosters competitiveness, especially that of organizations within a specific sector. The field of competitive intelligence has, in its turn, assisted organizations, individually, in the systematization of information valuable to decision-making processes, which benefits competitiveness. It follows that it is possible to combine coopetition and competitive intelligence in a systematized process of sectorial intelligence for coopetitive relations. The general aim of this study is, therefore, to put forth a model of sectorial coopetitive intelligence. The methodological outlining of the study is characterized as a mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative methods), of an applied nature, of exploratory and descriptive aims. The Coordination of the Strategic Roadmapping Project for the Future of Paraná's Industry is the selected object of investigation. Protocols have been designed to collect primary and secondary data. In the collection of the primary ata, online questionary were sent to the sectors selected for examination. A total of 149 answers to the online questionary were obtained, and interviews were performed with all embers of the technical team of the Coordination, in a total of five interviewees. After the collection, all the data were tabulated, analyzed and validated by means of focal groups with the same five members of the Coordination technical team, and interviews were performed with a representative of each of the four sectors selected, in a total of nine participants in the validation. The results allowed the systematization of a sectorial coopetitive intelligence model called ICoops. This model is characterized by five stages, namely, planning, collection, nalysis, project development, dissemination and evaluation. Each stage is detailed in inputs, activities and outputs. The results suggest that sectorial coopetition is motivated mainly by knowledge sharing, technological development, investment in R&D, innovation, chain integration and resource complementation. The importance of a neutral institution has been recognized as a facilitator and incentive to the approximation of organizations. Among the main difficulties are the financing of the projects, the adhesion of new members, the lack of tools for the analysis of information and the dissemination of the actions.
