Minesoft Training and Support Available When Working From Home 

In these strange and uncertain times when many have been encouraged to work from home, you can still rely on Minesoft for the online training and support you may need. The Minesoft Support team is working hard to make sure that support continues to be readily available to our customers. Below, you will find several online resources that are always available but may be especially helpful in this period of working from home. 

Minesoft Knowledge Hub 

The Minesoft Knowledge Hub contains PatBase, PatBase Express, PatDocs and IPShare Basics. These Basics sites contain video guides and written descriptions of how to use each platform, as well as answers to Frequently Asked Questions and links to helpful documents. 

In the Knowledge Hub, you can also find Guides, Webinars and Tutorials and Reports in other sections of the website. The Support Team is working hard to continuously update and add to these resources during this period to provide helpful and digestible content. 

To access the Knowledge Hub, you must be logged into one of the Minesoft products. Contact Minesoft today to set up free trial access for your colleagues who do not yet have their own login!  

For PatBase, you’ll find a link to Knowledge Hub in the footer or under the “Help” menu. In PatDocs, there is a link to the Knowledge Hub in the footer. In IPShare, you can access Knowledge Hub from the “Help” menu. In PatBase Express, there is a link to the Knowledge Hub under “More options”.
