Platform Additions - Innography

Innography Platform Additions

Innography offers powerful, industry unique add-on features that enable faster and more informed decision making than ever before. When combined, these features can produce a work-flow synergy that raises team productivity and reduces overall effort, as well as makes research and analysis both more efficient and effective. These additional features that can be combined with the Intellectual Property Business Intelligence platform include:

• Expert Feedback
• Extended References
• Patent Semantics
• Patent to Product Mapping
• Research Seats
• Translated Patents

Expert Feedback

The industry unique Expert Feedback feature allows you to include feedback from your extended team, regardless of whether they are a licensed user. Simply share a list of your research and patents with others via email, pose questions to enable collaboration with your team and receive feedback from them that is then collected in your project.

Extended References

Extended References provide additional context to your analysis by correlating diverse data sources to provide unique insight, including:

• International Litigation: View patents litigated in China, Japan, UK, Germany, France, Australia and Canada as well as U.S. International Trade Commission investigations.
• Technical Standards: Understand which organizations and their IP are impacted by organizations such as IEEE, IETF and ANSI.
• Pharmaceutical Sources: Find patents by chemical name or drug name that are listed in FDA Orange Book, FDA Green Book and Health Canada.
• Scientific Journals: Search non-patent literature from many academic and professional journals across disciplines including Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Medicine and Physics.

Patent Semantics

One of the most powerful Innography features is a semantic search tool that enables conceptual searches. Known as Innography Patent Semantics, analysts can use it to enter large blocks of text, patent numbers and concepts to find highly relevant documents. By simply entering text or patent numbers as search criteria, researchers receive results ordered by similarity and relevance. This makes it extremely easy for any level of user to quickly find the most important information related to a search.

Patent Semantics yields a different result than standard key word searches and a combination of search techniques will help ensure the most relevant content is found. With key word searches, multiple variations are possible regarding how key words can appear in a patent. For example, searching for “automatic transmissions” can return patents on technologies other than those related to automotive drive trains. Concepts such as data transmission over a network might also show up in your results when you rely solely on key word searches. Patent Semantics enables easier success by addressing the context of the search and by helping find documents that contain concepts similar to both blocks of text entered or to entire patents.

Patent to Product Mapping

Using a proprietary trademark correlation method, Innography enables you to understand which products and patents are likely associated with each other. This unique capability can help surface competitive trends as well as identify new and previously hidden licensing opportunities.

Research Seats

Enable your extended team to perform basic patent research with this option that allows widespread, cost effective deployment of a simplified version of the Innography platform. This feature multiplies your research work force by giving patent research and sharing access to your entire team at an affordable price and enabling you to focus on more critical research and analysis.

The additional Research Seats feature is a simplified research interface with the basic Innography search, visualization and collaboration capabilities perfect for those performing significant amounts of research, without the requirement of extensive power-user training. This enables your broader team to perform exponentially faster, allowing them to quickly find the most relevant information for a specific effort before tasking the more expensive analysis team with in-depth business intelligence analysis.

Translated Patents - NEW!

Innography now offers the option to view translated patent title, abstract, claims and description content for international patents from key jurisdictions. The translated abstract and claims information may be viewed in the Overview tab and a new Description tab will include full text description. The translated patent data, which is updated weekly, is licensed from Questel, an international provider of IP database collections. Available in collections by major jurisdictions, with China, Japan and Korea jurisdictions being available immediately and European, Brazil, Russia and India jurisdictions available at a later date.
