Consulting

Our automatic updates enable both you and your clients to always have accurate and up-to-date data. Whenever a change to a record is made in our primary database, all our client databases are automatically updated as well, allowing you to provide your clients with the most accurate solutions and recommendations. Our platform is extensible, and you can connect data relative to you and your clients’ needs in tandem with our patent data.

Accurate and up-to-date information for you and your clients

Our update process is fully automated, ensuring reliable data synchronization. Other data sources are not fully automated and leave the customer to stitch together file-based updates, which increases the risk of synchronization errors.

Power strategy with IP intelligence

Business strategy

Elevate your business strategy with intangible asset data, and:

  • Complete risk analyses to find which technologies are at risk of sale
  • Map acquisitions for intellectual property
  • Build analytics models to track industry trends and competitors

Track technology through patent timelines

Competitive intelligence

Patents are the world’s largest technical repository and also serve as a historical catalog of events. A technology can be tracked, geographically defined, and key industry players identified, all in view of the past, present, and future timeline.

Discover which technologies your competitor is patenting all in one view with IFI Names.

Another advantage of IFI patent data is that there are daily patent updates, which means our database is updated daily. That’s another very important aspect because our clients want to know that our patentability analysis has the most recent data.”
