CPA Global introduces fully integrated patent research offering

Direct link to CPA Global Discover^SM software delivers richer, more comprehensive results

CPA Global, the world's top intellectual property (IP) management specialist and a leading provider of legal services outsourcing (LSO), today announced the US launch of Search+Discover, an integration of its existing Patent Research suite and Discover search platform, which will deliver enhanced functionality in analyzing patent research results.

CPA Global Discover^SM is one of the world’s most advanced online patent search tools, accessing data from more than 86 million patent documents from 95 countries and enabling users to make more informed, strategic decisions regarding their IP assets. By integrating Discover software with its other patent research tools, CPA Global now delivers an unparalleled approach to evaluating patent research results.

“Integrating Discover into the patent research process will greatly enhance our clients’ end-user experience when analyzing their research results,” said Mark Wylde, CPA Global’s Technology Services Director. “Thanks to its ability to instantaneously populate live data sources and records within reports, Search+Discover allows users to easily drill down into patent research results. Our clients will be able to process data and act on results much more quickly than with traditional patent research reports. They can also easily share and collaborate research results with clients and decision makers involved in the innovation lifecycle.”

CPA Global is one of the world’s largest patent searching entities, providing clients with round-the-clock, global resources from teams located throughout the US, Europe and Asia. Having patent research teams around the world allows CPA Global physical access to important archives for less accessible sources of IP. Additionally, CPA Global’s international patent research teams have a strong command of a variety of languages, making for seamless natural language searching.

By using CPA Global’s current patent research tools, clients are already able to reduce the cost of patent searching, raise the level of patent search proficiency, quicken the pace of the patent search process, and assist in mitigating risk. Adding Search+Discover to their patent research toolkit will empower users to obtain even more comprehensive search results, more quickly and effectively.

“We’re thrilled to incorporate this level of technology into our patent research offering and to share these advanced capabilities with our clients,” explained Wylde. “Search+Discover really is the next frontier in patent research, and we feel proud to be the first to debut this level of software integration to our patent research clients.”

Discover is a key component of CPA Global’s integrated patent portfolio management offering, which includes patent renewal and filing, portfolio monetization, and IP management software solutions.
