Transforming Your Corporate Intellectual Property and Scientific Information Sharing and Collaboration
Management and Sharing of Patent and Scientific information is critical to research driven organizations where timely delivery of relevant information to researchers and other stakeholders requires help of dedicated information professionals. At any given time, information professionals in companies may have multiple projects ongoing across geographically dispersed teams with each project having its own data demands from Patent and Non-patent literature databases.
The Challenge
Much of the scientific/patent data in companies is delivered as Macro-enabled Excel or Word documents and too often such information is not centrally contained leading to information mismanagement. Some companies receive this data from external service providers but still fall prey to similar issues trying to manage all the different reports and data received. Trying to collaborate on Excel Sheets with 50+ columns over extended time periods lead to versioning issues and increase chances of data being overwritten and getting corrupted.
Traditional enterprise patent archives are designed to be a one-way delivery of information that leaves out any scope of gathering substantial input back from the end-user into the platform. They may not support non-patent literature which is equally critical for R&D users in innovation projects. Further, organizational data has grown beyond taxonomies and one-dimensional fields and in order to fit into more complex collaboration workflows, solutions must allow configuration of complex many-to-many multi-dimensional meta-data in easy to create customizable views similar to CRM or ERP systems.
PatSeer Projects was developed to meet this need of having an Integrated Patent and Scientific Information management system that gives information professionals the tools to get all the data, project stake holders, internal/external collaborators and processes integrated into a single solution.
Integrate IP information and keep it updated
The solution creates a centralized repository allowing you to manage all Patent and Non Patent Literature in context of ongoing projects. There is seamless integration of information coming in from multiple sources viz. PatSeer or third-party value-added databases, in-house archives and service providers.
