Won Information

WON is a Dutch society for patent information specialists. Its aim is to further the use of patent information by assuring its availability and facilitate its accessibility. WON provides a Dutch forum for discussing all matters related to patent information. The list of members includes patent issuing authorities and information providers as well. It keeps in close contact with its sister societies abroad. We organize live meetings at least twice a year. During these meetings members share experiences and representatives of data providers, patent offices and other professionals relevant for the patent information field update us on new developments in the patent information and related fields. We also organize special seminars on a specific topic to deepen the knowledge of our members. We supervise and participate in a basic patent training for new and experienced information specialists. We participate in events to present information to the public. For more information see the website.
