Data Coverage and Updates
The platform boasts exclusive license agreements with global patent offices, ensuring the most current and updated patent search results. The data is refreshed daily, and users can set up alerts in multiple languages on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis to stay informed about the latest developments in the patent landscape.
User Interface and Analytics
The interface is designed for ease of use, allowing users to review their entire set of search results on a single page with no limit to the number of returned results. Visual analytics display metadata in charts and graphs, enabling instant analysis of information on authorities, assignees, and class codes. Users can also highlight patent search terms in various columns of the results and compare or combine queries from their search history.
Additional Features
- Similarity Search: Users can find similar documents based on an analysis of the language in the title and abstract, with the ability to vary the required similarity for documents to be returned.
- Patent Families: The platform includes data on four types of patent families: Domestic, Main, Complete, and Extended, totaling over 98 million patent families.
- High-Resolution Images: Access to over 1.17 billion high-resolution patent drawings and images.
- Pharmaceutical Search: Specialized tools for the pharmaceutical industry, including Orange Book and SPC data, and the ability to create reports on new drug application (NDA) linked patents.
Customization and Collaboration
Users can create personalized user folders for specific search result types and analysis, such as Freedom to Operate (FTO) or prior art searches. The platform allows for sharing, exporting, and annotating documents within these folders. Customizable reports can be generated by selecting applicable fields, and the order of the fields in the export file can be adjusted using a drag-and-drop feature.
