The e-tutorial is an interactive learning tool covering the foundations of patent documentation, patent search strategies, and patent analysis and its numerous uses.  It includes tutorials, scenarios, and exercises to allow learners to expand and test their knowledge.
 
The e-tutorial is designed for a range of learners, from beginner to advanced and is offered through self-directed study and includes tests that allow each participant to gauge their knowledge and understanding at various points in the tutorial.

The e-tutorial can be useful for individuals, or to support group training for users with competency levels ranging from basic to intermediate, including students and researchers, small and medium business entrepreneurs, and policy makers.  It will also complement onsite training given within the framework of the WIPO Technology and Innovation Support Center (TISC) program.
 
There is no final examination for this course.  Self-evaluation tools are strategically incorporated throughout the tutorial to help participants to gauge their level of knowledge and test their ability to apply concepts and key facts taught during the tutorial.
 
Participants can work through the tutorial at a pace that suits them. It is estimated that the tutorial can be reviewed in approximately eight hours.
 
It is recommended that participants take the DL-177 tutorial prior to taking the DL-318 Patent Information Search course.
