Sc[i]³ Patents and Trademarks Moves to Sunnyvale Public
Library
Sunnyvale, CA (1/4/02) – During the month of January 2002, Sc[i]³, the patent and trademark library, will move to the Sunnyvale Public Library located at 665 West Olive Avenue in Sunnyvale, a block away from the current site. To implement this major move, Sc[i]³ will be closed to regular walk-in reference service from January 2, 2002 until the move is completed near the end of January.
"Sc[i]³
is a tremendous asset to investors, entrepreneurs, and legal personnel all over
Silicon Valley and the Bay Area," said Vickey Johnson, Director of the
Sunnyvale Public Library. "The move will be an added benefit for
users of the patent and trademark library. The public will have increased
access to professional reference services and patent and trademark documents -
up from 37 hours per week at the current site to 68 hours per week, coinciding
with the Sunnyvale Public Library schedule."
Professional librarians at the library reference
desk will receive training from staff of the US Patent and Trademark Office to
provide assistance with basic patent and trademark searches. Internet
workstations and a networked printer will provide access to the USPTO Web site
for do-it-yourself searches.
Specialized intellectual property services that
provide added value to inventors, entrepreneurs, and the legal community will
be available at the Sunnyvale Public Library. These services include: training
seminars and expert reference assistance; fee-based patent and trademark
searches; and document delivery of USPTO file histories, certified
applications, and other USPTO documents. Videoconferencing for general business
needs, seminars, and examiner interviews with the Patent and Trademark Office
will remain at the 465 South Mathilda location.
The patent and trademark services offered at the Sunnyvale Public Library are available to all members of the public, regardless of where they live. For more information visit the Sc[i]³ Web site at www.sci3.com, call (408)737-4945, or email seminars@sci3.com.
