Thomson Innovation^SM, the new intellectual property research and analysis solution from Thomson Scientific, has received an enthusiastic reception from customers, analysts and journalists. But what can it do for you?

Thomson Innovation, launched in December 2007, is a single, integrated solution that combines intellectual property, scientific literature, business data and news with analytic, collaboration and alerting tools in a robust platform.

"The global intellectual property market is changing rapidly. It's more critical than ever for our customers to have access to the most authoritative patent data, and to incorporate complementary sources, like scientific literature, in their intellectual property research."
David Brown
Executive Vice President, Corporate Markets, Thomson Scientific.

For the first time, Thomson Innovation will enable researchers to search worldwide editorially enhanced patent data, Asian patent data translated into English, scientific literature, and business and news sources simultaneously.

". . . building vertical search and workflow for science-based businesses dependent upon patents poses special problems, solved here by Thomson Scientific with a blend of high quality search, intelligent tools, and visualization in what is very much a demonstration of current thinking on content management."

The design and development of Thomson Innovation aimed to improve its content and features over current Thomson Scientific offerings. The first phase of the release (available now) has similar — and superior — functionality to PatSearch® FullText ( PSFT ), MPI and Delphion®, and includes global, full-text patent sources, including Japan . This will soon be followed by the addition of Derwent World Patents Index, scientific literature, business information and news, plus additional enhancements to be delivered throughout 2008.

"Effective workflow tools are meant to improve decision-making, demonstrate productivity gains and increase compliance and regulatory protection. Thomson Innovation, solidly based around the intellectual property innovation life cycle (concept generation — research and design — invention disclosure — preparation and prosecution — portfolio management — enforcement and licensing — concept regeneration) has the capacity to deliver those advantages for one of the most complex user groupings in the science, research and professional marketplaces."
