PERI Patent Information Course transferred to PIUG

At least 342 individuals have attended the PERI Patent Information Course since its inception in 1989.  PERI, the Pharmaceutical Education and Research Institute, offers courses in many aspects of science and business for the pharmaceutical industry, with the Patent Information course as one of the few with a broader focus.  PIUG is happy to announce that the course has now been transferred from PERI to PIUG.  We are planning to offer itin the near future to our members and others interested in the basics of patent law, patent searching and patent information resources.

The PIUG Board and Education and Training Task Force need your help in scheduling the course.  We are considering offering the course after the PIUG Northeast Conference on October 14 and 15, but we need to know whether enrollement will be high for it to be worthwhile.

If you or a colleague are interested in attending the course on October 14-15 in New Brunswick, please get in touch with me (edlyns at earthlink dot net) as soon as possible.  If you would like us to schedule it for a different date or location, please tell me.
