Resources

This page links to the patent libraries, clinics and inventors groups. All the PATLIB Libraries operate clinics and the Manchester and Leeds Libraries host inventors' groups.

Most of these groups have websites that add to the abundance of information about intellectual property and technology law on the internet. The best way to sift and select vital information is to obtain summaries through RSS and XML fields and subscribe to blogs or other websites that update regularly.

In order to read RSS and XML feeds it is necessary to acquire a news aggregator. The Attensa aggregator which interfaces with Microsoft Outlook is highly regarded and so far free. There are, however, many others some of which are mentioned on the BBC News home page.
