QPAT: Power-packed with Better Patent Delivery and Patent Citation Analysis/Visualization The latest
QPAT incarnation has new installations you’ve been waiting for:
(1) additional coverage to enhance the patent delivery service; (2) a
shopping basket that lets users track and directly download patent document
copies; (3) simpler navigation; and (4) an exciting, new patent citation
analysis and visualization capability made possible by our partnership
with anacubis™.
The enhanced shopping basket offers unique features that let you:
Navigation is even more convenient. Users go directly from their search to the Hit List display, where they can choose from several record display options. The anacubis™ citation analysis and visualization feature, included in all QPAT subscriptions, lets you explore the ties among cited and citing patents, and automatically links related assignees, inventors and technology classifications (ECLA and USPCL). These links will automatically open the anacubis™ Viewer with the requested patent. With the resulting information, you can:
How does the anacubis™ Viewer work? In real-time, it automatically creates in real-time a visual representation of data that users can manipulate. It uses icons to symbolize data, such as people and organizations, and displays a diagram of the data relationships. Each data and relationship holds the source information, so users can see the ‘big picture’ in one View. Users can then drag the Views into anacubis™ desktop tools and combine them with other business information for further analysis. The anacubis desktop software will be available near the end of September. To find out more, click here. |
