IP.com

An innovation discovery and analytics platform that combines the technical knowledge in IEEE documents with IP.com's global patent and non-patent literature. Its cognitive search engine scans huge volumes of data quickly to surface relevant patents, applications and literature.

IEEE publications are central to the patent process: the organisations that file the most patents cite IEEE three times more than any other publisher.

A Boolean system searching for “autonomous vehicle” returns everything that contains “vehicle” and “autonomous”. Boolean search matches keywords without context and misses documents that express the same concept in different words.

InnovationQ Plus understands what the question means. Anyone in the company can use it without special training and get more accurate and complete results.

The patent and non-patent documents found are shown on an interactive map built from the concepts extracted from their content. The bigger the word, the more results; each colour represents a different company.

This makes it easy to spot white space in the market, see what competitors are working on and discover licences and unexpected links between intellectual property.
