The IFI Platform

We are constantly adding new information sources to CLAIMS Direct, drawing upon our strengths as data architects to ensure new records meet our strict quality guidelines. Prior to a new record entering IFI's database, it is checked to meet our quality standards and then automatically sent to all our client databases around the world.

Automatic Update Process

All our client databases across the globe are continually and constantly "pinging" our primary database. When we update our database - automatically and simultaneously all our client databases receive the update or correction, replacing the “old document.” This process is essential and what differentiates IFI among patent data suppliers.

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.

Extensible Platform

Adding and merging new types of information is what the CLAIMS Direct platform was developed to do. Take advantage of our specialized architecture and have us merge other internal or external data sources. Our development team will design the right hosting option according to your data requirements and privacy needs.
