Our Search & Analytics team study a collection of technical documents including patents, science papers and dissertations, catalogs and industry standards. Our experienced specialists perform technical analysis on prior arts beyond just searching for ideal information. The Search & Analytics team supports a variety of clients including R&D corporations, law firms as well as investment organizations.
We subscribe world elite databases to cover commercial/financial data, IP data, technology materials, science periodic, conference record and manuals of products/industry standards. We have full access to commercial databases like MineSoft Patbase or Questel Orbit. We also have rich experience in using non patent resources around the world such as CNKI of China, 3GPP, Pubmed of NIH or Elsevier. When required, we can further perform paper-based library search in CAS libraries as well as public libraries in Beijing, Shanghai or Tokyo.
Our analysts’ expertise covers chemistry/biology, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science. The majority of our analysts have advanced degrees in science or engineering area. Some of them also have law degrees. Many of our analysts are China Bar qualified or passed the China Patent bar. They either were former examiners or have research experience in large corporations. The dual experience in technology and law enables our analysts to go one step beyond search work by providing analytical opinions from technical perspective.
English and Chinese are our prior working language when performing search and analytics. We have comprehensive methodology to maximize search scope. In some circumstances, we will also recommend to use other languages such as Japanese or Korean. English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean are all our working languages and we are able to deliver analytics results in all four languages.
We believe every search need is identical and will choose the best databases and the most appropriate analyst for each project to ensure the best quality work.
