Thomson's Intel Property Tool

Thomson Scientific is now marketing Thomson Innovation, an "intellectual property research and analysis solution" that allows researchers to "simultaneously search worldwide editorially enhanced patent data, Asian patent data translated into English, scientific literature, and business and news sources."

Thomson Innovation features a fully integrated searchable database combining Derwent World Patent Index with full-text patent data. Among additional strengths the company points to are analysis and visualization tools, such as charting and integration of business and news resources.
