• Quickly reviewing and gain an understanding of technical aspects of client inventions and/or technical search concepts
• Creating research strategies that best utilize time and resources when executed
• Perform extensive database research
• Reviewing, gathering and analyzing technical literature
• Report research findings in a timely and high-quality manner
