More importantly, they don't have to worry about creating duplicate copies of the same file. With Google Docs, everyone working on a project makes changes to the same master document. As users make edits, Google Docs tracks all the changes and tags each edit with the responsible Google account holder's name. That way, the owner of the document can scan changes and see who is responsible for each edit. Google designed Google Docs to autosave almost constantly, preserving each edit shortly after a user makes it.

In April 2008, Google announced that users could work on Google Docs document files (but not presentations or spreadsheets) offline using Google's editing software. Google's solution to this problem is Google Gears, a plug-in application that makes other Web applications more robust. Google also has some advanced tricks for spreadsheet editors. A First Look at Patent Document Search – A New Feature on Reed Tech Patent Advisor.

A First Look at Patent Document Search – A New Feature on Reed Tech Patent Advisor

Studying the negotiations that took place between an examiner, and an applicant, and how they impacted the claim scope associated with a US patent document, can be a powerful method for helping to determine the value of a patent or a portfolio. Unfortunately, as useful as the information in Public PAIR is, it is not easily accessible ordinarily, and the individual items contained in the Image File Wrapper were not previously searchable.

I think we all agree on that. In my opinion, it has a lot to do with power. Problem is that people who take the decision to roll out a social intranet or to stay with the old one is people that: A) Are too old and have no interest in implementing a new technology they don’t fully understand. Email is more than enough for them. B) Are not risk takers. C)Like to control everything. D) The person or team in charge of the “social intranet” project (folks in HR, Internal Comms , IT ) was not able to show the business benefits to the decision makers.

To me, this last point is the most important and is where I would put time and effort (the other three are quite helpless). 1)Know it won’t be an easy journey. 2) Do your homework, be prepared. It’s a difficult journey but if you can make it happen you’ll be very proud of yourself and the company will see great benefits from it. . — Ryan A. Martha R. Matteo, PhD's Page.
