New to patents? In this beginner-friendly lunch session, you'll learn the basics of using Espacenet, the free patent database from the European Patent Office.

In this 30-minute IP Lunch Session, we’ll focus on a few key search techniques:

• Finding a patent application or granted patent using a publication number
• Searching by company or applicant name
