Patent Search Solutions

PATENT SEARCH • ADVANCED RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY

PatentCafe began the ground-up design of its patent research solution years ago with a double mission:

• Develop the largest, most accurate web-searchable patent database in the world, and
• Access that database with the most advanced linguistics search technology available.

PROBLEM:
Older Boolean search technology only returns results that literally match the keywords used in the search query. However, the older search technologies cannot create search concepts on their own, and therefore miss finding relevant patents that do not contain the keywords used in the search query.

To make matters worse, the patent databases are very often missing many patents, or contain patents that are missing patent claims or other critical data. Searchable patent data is generated using OCR technology after paper patents are scanned. OCR technology is imperfect, and is guaranteed to distort, change, or eliminate data during the translation. These patent data errors are not systematically corrected, so the databases live on contaiing many uncorrected errors.

The end result is that researchers simply don’t know how many critically important patents are missed by the combination of Boolean search technology and unacceptably poor data quality.

SOLUTION:
No other patent database and search technology combination in the world is more reliable in discovering the most relevant patent prior art search results.

PatentCafe’s ICO Patent Search is the industry’s first 6-Sigma targeted patent data quality database combined with the most advanced Latent Semantic Analysis multiple language search technology. Referred to as the industry’s Gold Standard, ICO-Global Patent Search succeeds in producing incredibly reliable, most highly relevant prior art search results. The legal, financial and business benefits are immense, providing for intelligent budgeting, more informed legal and business decisions, and significant savings that can quickly reach into the $10s or $100s of thousands.

Claims searching is an important, industry-first feature of PatentCafe’s advanced search technology. Claims searching transcends the narrow limitations of classification or keyword searching. The concept of the patent as expressed by the claims describes the invention. Quickly identify prior art that reads on the patent claims (or proposed claims of an application).

The list below highlights the most significant advancements of our patent research solution which set us ahead of older patent search technology.

ICO-GPS is the only patent research tool that delivers these important functions:

• Relevancy Ranked Results – intelligently analyses and lists most relevant patents first.
• Claims Search – uses the complete claims text as the search query.
• Latent Semantic Analysis Search Engine – most advanced linguistics concept searching.
• Search Thesaurus – generates vernacular / typical key words for every technology.
• 6-Sigma Targeted Data Quality – extremely accurate & reliable patent database.
• One of World’s Largest Patent Collections – single query searchable across collections.
• Flexible Search Results Export – individual patent or bulk data export in CSV or XML.

PatentCafe’s ICO Suite delivers a rich and flexible environment. It’s the first IP solution that brings together the most advanced patent research tools with intellectual capital management features in a single IPAM solution.
