With a strong commitment to developing accessible resources, PatWorld has introduced a game-changing learning platform designed to strengthen patent searching skills across the industry.

Empowering Professionals Through Education

At the core of PatWorld’s 2025 achievements is the launch of the Introduction to Patent Searching course. This self-paced, interactive resource equips both new and experienced IP professionals with essential skills for navigating today’s increasingly complex patent search landscape.

Learners gain immediate confidence by practicing complex searches while receiving expert guidance throughout. Further enhancing the programme’s modern approach, Sue Leslie, Digital Marketing Manager, applied her AI Marketing expertise to help integrate AI-powered tools into the learning modules—introducing participants to cutting-edge search capabilities that reflect the rapid evolution of IP technology.

In parallel with their educational initiatives, PatWorld also expanded its AI-driven search platform in 2025, offering clients unprecedented access to actionable insights, intuitive search functions, and simplified workflows. These upgrades allow users to explore global patent data with greater speed, precision, and confidence.
