"Part of the engineering design process is to understand the “state of the art” technology when solving your particular problem. Existing technology or products, standards, patents, literature, etc. should be the basis of understanding what is currently possible; what is legally protected; and how problems are currently solved. The “state of the art” is not given in one location, but spread across all different types of publications and mediums. As a team, you need to investigate different sources to determine what is out there today and what you can use to help make your project successful."
Each team needs to sign up for a Prior Art Review coaching session with Graham in MS Teams. This is a session to get assistance and feedback specific to your team's project and prior art research. Sessions are in the week of October 14-18 and are usually 10-20 minutes.
All team members are required to attend and participate in the coaching session. Teams are expected to send to Graham their draft search log and draft references list before the coaching session.
[add example of a references list]
If none of the times work for all team members, contact Graham to arrange an alternative.
