Both courses were well-structured, easy to follow, and provided practical insights that helped me strengthen and refresh my patent searching skills. The sessions effectively combined fundamental concepts with modern AI-driven approaches used in patent research. I would highly recommend these courses to both freshers entering the IP field and experienced patent professionals looking to enhance their search capabilities. A big thank you to Venkataramanan Mandakolathur and Gurukul of Ramana for delivering such valuable learning opportunities.”
