Basic Espacenet Training

Every year, the #centexbelpatentcell organizes a dedicated training session on Espacenet, the European Patent Office’s powerful patent search platform. This hands-on session is designed to help participants navigate the vast world of patent information with greater confidence and efficiency.

During the training, we introduce the essential features of Espacenet, demonstrate smart search strategies, and show how to access technical details, legal information, and patent families. Whether you are new to patent searches or looking to refine your skills, this annual workshop provides practical guidance to get the most out of this valuable tool.

Join us to strengthen your understanding of patent research and to learn how Espacenet can support innovation, project development, and informed decision-making within your organization.
