Patent search
Economic actors participate in scientific and technical invention, which is reflected in the publication of patents. This is a legal obligation, in order to benefit from the intellectual protection afforded to innovative products by patents. Here, we'll look at how to search for patents with the aim of finding out more about economic players, rather than as potential patentees.
In French law, according to article L611-10 of the Code de la Propriété Intellectuelle : ”Are patentable, in all fields of technology, new inventions involving an inventive step and capable of industrial application.”

Searching for information with AI (Part 2): conversational agents
(Part 1: recommendations and search engines)
Coming to the spotlight at the end of 2022 with the general public release of ChatGPT3.5, then 4 in spring 2023, conversational agents are tools based on the analysis of large corpora of documents and statistical probabilities for text generation (GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer).

Searching for information with AI (Part 1): recommendations and search engines
The objective of this zoom is to communicate on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a very general way, and on some of the functionalities it already provides for information research.
Definition of A.I.
Here we use two definitions quoted in the article “Defining artificial intelligence for librarians” :
- the OECD definition : "Artificial intelligence (AI) is ‘a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. AI systems are designed to operate with varying levels of autonomy’". (OECD, 2020).
- and the European Commission's definition, which is also very general : "Simply put, AI is a collection of technologies that combines data, algorithms and computing power". (European Commission, 2020: 2).
To go beyond these simple definitions, you can consult the following...

Legal information research
This zoom is a reminder, for non-lawyers, of the main principles governing the law, and more specifically commercial law: where the law is written, how it is applied, how it is accessed... This zoom does not cover legal, administrative and financial information for companies, for which resources such as Infogreffe, Orbis and Diane can be consulted.
Let's take a concrete case of legal information research for the launch of a new product in the alternative health sector, herbal medicine, in two European countries simultaneously: France and Greece.
Broadly speaking, there are several branches of law, present in different geographical areas.
