We help the global Engineering and Technology community innovate profitably.
Patents are a critical source of commercial, scientific and technological data. In fact, 80% of all available technical information is published in patents and often nowhere else. More than 600,000 engineering patents are filed each year and nearly two thirds of all patents have engineering content.
Our solutions will help you to use patent intelligence to make more informed strategic decisions at every step of the research and development process, and beyond.
