Welcome to our first IFI CLAIMS Newsletter.  2012 begins with a lot of exciting developments at IFI CLAIMS.  We began the year by publishing our Top Global Companies Ranked by 2011 US Patents, launching a new website, and actively promoting a new and exciting product line.

We continue to enhance and expand our US and global patent databases and to spread the word on KMX – one of the most accessible and affordable text analysis tools available.

We are also very excited about the commercial release of IFI CLAIMS DIRECT. CLAIMS DIRECT is a web service that enables developers to easily incorporate IFI's carefuly curated global patent database into their applications with a minimum of licensing restrictions.  CLAIMS DIRECT is the direct result of the Alexandria project that IFI CLAIMS and Fairview Research have supported for several years.  

I would like to personally thank all of our customers and partners for their continued support. After over 60 years supporting innovation, we remain committed to enabling access to the highest quality patent content available and to our team of patent experts.

Mike Baycroft, CEO, IFI CLAIMS Patent Service
