In an article recently published on LinkedIn, Caitlin Kavanagh – Marketing Executive at Minesoft – outlines the importance of effectively disseminating IP information throughout a company.
In an article recently published on LinkedIn, James Gray – Senior Software Developer at Minesoft – outlines the difficulties in understanding, interpreting and effectively visualising large datasets.
Minesoft’s automated systems are constantly updated with highly complex worldwide patent information. To turn this data into good intelligence, it is necessary to have well thought out, intelligent systems.
The goal set for Minesoft’s new patent analysis platform – PatBase AnalyticsV2 – was for all users, with any level of skill, to be able to take very large, highly complex patent datasets and easily present them in a visual way that is easy on the eye, easy to interpret and understand; and to be able to interact with and share this data.
The Minesoft Development Team found a way to cut out the time-consuming leg work normally associated with this process. By attaching AnalyticsV2 directly to the PatBase search results, you can accomplish all these tasks in one location. You can search high-quality, comprehensive patent data, and be presenting beautiful, accurate and meaningful visualisations to key decision makers in minutes.

Chemical Explorer, developed by Minesoft to take advantage of Chemical NER technology to add chemical structure search capability throughout the entire text of millions of patent documents, can interrogate patent data in several ways. Similarity, substructure and exact structure searching are available, with structure input possible from chemical name, trade name, SMILES, Mol file or by drawing the structure. More…
It is no secret that patent data yields a rich source of competitive intelligence. A significant volume of technical and scientific information (estimates range from 70 to 80%) is only to be found in patent documents. It won’t be published anywhere else!
Having access to a powerful and comprehensive patent search and analysis platform, like Minesoft’s PatBase, is therefore crucial to exploit patent data. For example, being able to analyse patent citations is a great source of competitive & business intelligence, to see who is involved in inventing the critical technology and how the knowledge in the sector is building up – and where. For this, you need a high quality, extensive global database of patents.
Due to the volume and complexity of patent citations, it is a difficult area to efficiently navigate. Citation Explorer is provided as an interactive module within PatBase which makes it much easier to locate, browse and review the complex web of patent citations on a single invention or patent document basis. Citations can be viewed side-by-side, visualised on a timeline or tree and relevant statistics revealed.
Incorporating the latest customer feedback has led to Minesoft further enhancing Citation Explorer. A new methodology to effectively track backward and forward citations for a family of interest makes life easier. Citations can be displayed by various criteria, allowing users to get an easy overview, cross-reference related citations and discover their origins.
In addition, the Citation Tree, a means to follow and traverse citation paths from patent to patent, now shows forward and backward citations simultaneously. As a result, it is easier to extrapolate and draw conclusions. Users can quickly identify which patents are being cited by or citing the invention of interest. Hovering over the publication number lets you quickly scan the title, assignee and excerpt of the abstract.
Exploring forward citations provides an excellent source of competitive business intelligence. You can quickly identify players working in a similar technology area, new competitors entering a similar field, potential licensing opportunities and keep an eye on potential infringers in the sea of data.
Citation Explorer is a comprehensive global patent citation database, ideal for unearthing new players or technologies in your area. Even better – it is included in all PatBase Subscriptions at no extra cost.

Patents have become increasingly important to the pharmaceutical industry. A new medicine can now exceed $2.6 billion to develop successfully, therefore pharmaceutical patents are crucial to give much needed protection to new compounds so that corporations can recoup their development costs. More…
