Mission

Mission Statement for the PIF user group.


Within the fields of patents searching and analysis the development has come about in a high speed. Therefore there is a need for a common forum for users and providers of this information in Denmark. Similar groups exist abroad (PIUG, WON, PTMG).

 

The headlines for the Danish group are:

 

Purpose:

  • To create a common forum for all users and providers of patent information in Denmark.
  • To encourage networking among the members of the group.
  • To strengthen co-operation between information providers and information users and to increase the flow of information between these two groups.
  • To improve searching qualifications of the members.
  • To increase the awareness of new patent information tools.
  • To be a social forum.

Activities:


Meetings for the members and for subgroups of the members.
This includes an annual meeting and 1-2 additional member meetings during the year as well as theme meetings for smaller groups according to suggestions.
Each meeting will preferably be based on a lecture.
Focus on new patent information products.

Co-operation with similar groups in other countries (e.g. WON (NL), PIUG (US)).
Presentations held by information providers.
Keeping the members informed about conferences/meetings and other events.

 

Organisation:
There is a board consisting of 5-7 persons, representing patent information specialists employed in private consultancy, the industry, and national patent authorities.
The members of the board are elected for two years, with 3-4 representatives elected every year. The election is performed each year at the annual meeting.
