Chemical Structure Searches
IP Brigade’s hyper-targeted Chemical Structure Search is a highly specialized search used to identify chemical structures mentioned in patent and non-patent publications. Complete chemical structures, and variations in functional moieties and chains enable you to draw and identify the most relevant references for inventions, particularly in chemistry, biochemistry and pharmaceuticals, thereby boosting your R&D efforts, influencing ongoing patent litigation, tracking competition, and strengthening your intellectual property rights.
Why Chemical Structure Search?
- Patentability searches: Chemical structure search can be used to determine the novelty and non-obviousness of a chemical compound, which is a critical factor in patentability. Patentability searches using chemical structure search tools can help inventors and companies avoid infringing existing patents and create new and innovative products that can be patented.
- Patent infringement analysis: Chemical structure search can also be used to determine whether a newly developed chemical compound infringes on an existing patent. This is important for companies that want to avoid costly litigation and infringement claims.
- Patent portfolio management: Chemical structure search is also crucial in patent portfolio management, where companies need to track and manage their patent assets. Chemical structure search can help companies identify their patents that are close to expiration or those that need to be renewed, and also help them identify potential licensing opportunities.
