58. Exercise A research institute intends to focus its activities on the genetic engineering of corn. You have been asked to carry out the following tasks to support the work of the institute. Gather information about related inventions. Show how patenting activity in this area has evolved over time.

59. Steps Discuss the scope with the client Choose the right tools Identify concepts to be searched Gather synonyms and/or identify relevant classifications Structure query Retrieve and review results Report to the client Repeat!

60. Scope The head of research at the institute tells you, "We are only interested in inventions in the field of genetic engineering related specifically to maize and not other types of grains or plants."
