“…Discuss what a "State of the Art" (SOTA) search is and when you should be doing a SOTA. For more detailed and discipline-specific ideas, MacMillan [9], MacMillan and Thuna [10], and Zhang [11] all have written about IPL training in science disciplines or classes, with information on integrating IPL into a class assignment.…”

A major component of any information literacy training program incorporates training on copyright and fair use. While in the library literature, librarians have provided excellent training on understanding copyright and appropriate use, they have not focused on providing training on other forms of intellectual property (IP), particularly patents. As IP in the form of patents is becoming exponentially more important in the research-to-commercialization process, more work on information literacy training about patents is needed. This paper provides definitions of IP literacy, places the value of IP literacy in a larger context, looks at target audiences, proposes a framework for IP literacy and provides suggestions about the role that librarians can play in developing IP literacies beyond copyright.

“…Teaching students in the sciences how and where to search for patents is not a novel concept (Baldwin, 2008; Kawakami, 1998; Church and Carpenter, 2000; MacMillan and Shaw, 2008; MacMillan, 2006; Shackle, 2009; Zhang, 2009), but most of the current literature describes single projects, chiefly in chemistry and engineering, or offers links and tips to help the novice searcher start looking for patents. The goal of this paper is to broaden the discussion by extending it into teaching patent searching to students in the life sciences.…”

Zhang (2009) highlights the “need for patent information searching to be integrated into library instructions”. The current paper focuses on the implementation of two such programs, one serving over 500 undergraduate students and the other 30 graduate students.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to broaden the inclusion of patent searching in information literacy instruction by extending it from chemistry and engineering into the life sciences.Design/methodology/approachTwo case studies, one undergraduate and one graduate, from two Canadian universities described the addition of patent searching to information literacy instruction in genetics and biotechnology.FindingsResults indicate that the integration of patents into information literacy sessions at the undergraduate and graduate levels not only enhance students' information literacy skills, but also help students learn more about the disciplines of genetics and biotechnology.Practical implicationsThe results of this paper have practical and pedagogical implications for librarians teaching students how to use patents as a primary source of scientific information in the life sciences and may provide useful information for any librarians who wish to introduce students to patents.Originality/valueWhile most of the literature about the integration of patent searching in information literacy instruction focuses on chemistry and engineering, this paper shows how integral patent information is to the life sciences, and how familiarity with patent searching can enhance student understanding of the scientific information environment.

“…Ten obszar, związany z ochroną własności intelektualnej, powszechnie raczej wiąże się z działalnością przedsiębiorstw produkcyjno-usługowych, mniej z działaniami podejmowanymi przez biblioteki. Biblioteki są postrzegane raczej jako miejsca dostępu do baz danych rejestrujących zgłoszenia patentowe czy znaki towarowe z uwagi na specjalnie przeszkolony personel potrafiący je efektywnie przeszukiwać na zlecenie użytkowników (Zhang, 2009;Sneed, 2000;Irvin, 2018).…”

Teza/Cel artykułu – Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie aktywności europejskich bibliotek w zakresie rejestracji znaków towarowych. Metody badań – Analiza ilościowa objęła następujące zagadnienia: kraj, w którym dokonano zgłoszenia znaku towarowego, biblioteki z największą liczbą znaków zgłoszonych do rejestracji, rok zgłoszenia, status znaku, rodzaj biblioteki, rodzaj i typ znaku towarowego. Źródłem danych była baza TMview zarządzana przez Urząd Unii Europejskiej ds. Własności Intelektualnej. Wyniki i wnioski – Ogółem zidentyfikowano 380 zgłoszeń pochodzących z 24 krajów. Próbę rejestracji znaku podjęło 166 bibliotek. Tylko w 14 krajach biblioteki narodowe dokonały takiego zgłoszenia, biblioteki publiczne zrobiły to w 22 krajach, a biblioteki naukowe w 16. Bazy danych znaków towarowych mogą być wykorzystywane do identyfikowania produktów i usług oferowanych bibliotekom, jak również pokazywać różne formy aktywności związanej z promowaniem książki i czytelnictwa na określonym obszarze.
