    Personalization Features

    The powerful personalization features allow users to tailor their working environment to best suit project requirements and research needs.

    Saved Searches and Alerts
    Users can save queries for later use or schedule specified queries to run periodically and send an alert to a user-specified email about new results. Saved queries can also be saved to the user’s Home Page for convenient access or linked to a project saved in the user’s personalized workspace.

    My Workspaces
    Provides a place for users to save, organize, and share their research related to a project or topic of interest.

    Patent Intelligence

    The Patent Intelligence add-on tool leverages the extensive Patent Collection to connect Patent Search, Technology Analysis and Company Analysis tools to assist users in identifying influential trends, companies, and innovators.

    The Patent Search Tool
    Allows users to search for specific patents based on a variety of criteria (patent number, title, assignee, abstract, etc.).

    The Technology Analysis Tool
    Maps semantically relevant discussions of a technology against one or more patent content sources.

    The Company Analysis Tool
    Generates a specific innovation profile for one assignee or a group of assignees to help identify core technologies, key inventors, trends within specific technologies, and citation anomalies.

    Patent Intelligence Capabilities

    The Patent Intelligence add-on module leverages the Patent Collection of 60 million patents and applications, and also provides a collection of analytical tools that can extract valuable intelligence from patent bibliographic data. The application leverages semantic analysis and metadata from the patents to assist users in spotting influential trends, companies and inventors.

    Search Patents

    The Patent Search tool allows a user to search for a specific patent, based on a variety of criteria (patent number, title, assignee, abstract, etc.). This is useful, for example, when a user knows the document required or would like to identify patents assigned to a given company or a particular inventor.

    Semantically generated summaries of patents are provided in any of the supported languages (currently, English, French, German, Japanese, Simplified Chinese), regardless of the language of the original document. This is useful for determining quickly and easily whether a given patent is applicable to a user's research and therefore requires further investigation. Of course, the full-text patent itself can also be viewed in the original language, either in a text-based HTML document or as a PDF document.

    Analyze Technology

    The Technology Analysis tool maps semantically relevant discussions of a technology against one or more patent content sources. Analysis results include:

    • Patent activity for up to 5 assignees (or groups)
    • Bibliographic data
    • Assignee List
    • Blended inventor list
    • Patent class distribution
    • Top 5 assignees, inventors and patent classes

    The tool presents users with a view of patent activity related to a particular technology over time, allowing them to understand, for example, where the technology is in its lifecycle. That information could be useful in evaluating whether a company should make investments in research into a technology or direct investment elsewhere. Leading inventors can also be identified, making it possible to ascertain key researchers around a given technology area.

    Analyze Companies

    The Company Analysis tool generates a specific innovation profile for one assignee or a group of assignees. The analysis includes:

    • Patent Activity Chart
    • Inventor Lists
    • Bibliographic data
    • Class distribution

    The resulting chart and listing data can help identify:

    • Core Technologies
    • Key Inventors
    • Trends within specific technologies
    • Citation anomalies

    Users can view a company's overall patent activities or activities related to specific technologies or compare the activities of multiple companies to understand competitive trends relative to a particular technology over time. This could be useful for understanding the extent to which different companies are investing in research related to technology.

    Analyze Patent References

    The Patent References Analysis tool lets a user view citations of a patent by other patents (as well as by/from patent applications), in addition to mapping out the assignees/companies attached to forward and backward references. Backward references provide a map to the "pedigree" of a patent – the history of the technologies or innovations incorporated into the patent. Forward citations are often very useful in determining potential innovation barriers, competitors, or licensing opportunities. "Young" patent documents with relatively high forward citation counts are particularly useful to discover and investigate for technology trends, owners and valuation.
