Intellectual Property Technology
Big Data, AI, and Blockchain technology are part of Questel’s DNA. Discover the intellectual property technology at the heart of our operations
Our Tech-driven Culture
Since our foundations, Questel has focused on technological leadership in the IP market. Across Asia, Europe, and the USA, we employ hundreds of in-house engineers and PhD-educated specialists with superior skills and expertise in data mining, task automation, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
Driven by our ambitious roadmap, technology touches every aspect of our products and services from our integrated and AI-elevated IP intelligence solution Orbit to our suite of Equinox IP management software, Markify trademark clearance search & watch platform, and patent preparation and prosecution process copilots.
Technology for IP Intelligence
Questel emerged as a Big Data specialist decades ago when we first created comprehensive IP datasets for our clients. Today, we continually improve our cross-search capabilities based on semantic search competencies, machine learning, and neural networking techniques.
While IP data is increasingly available online, making connections between all the different datasets is not always straightforward. Our AI experts work on data curation and entity recognition using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to generate modern analytics and provide business-oriented insights.
Technology for IP Portfolio Management
With our suite of Equinox IP management software at the core of our roadmap for intellectual property technology roadmap, we are integrating services and tools via secure API connectors.
From initial invention or brand submission to searching, drafting, filing, and prosecution, IP renewals, our goal is to create one single, integrated IP ecosystem for clients to manage their IP portfolios through a single log-in.
Technology for Smart Workflows
From our integrated approach to IP software and services to our patent preparation and prosecution process copilots, our intellectual property technology is business-focused and AI-elevated to provide task automation and computer-powered assistance.
We integrate data into processes and provide recommendations at every step, using content-based and model-based recommendations and collaborative filtering, thanks to our natural language processing expertise. As importantly, we use continuous learning to refine our algorithms through anonymized and secure interactions with our users.
Technology for Image Search
Semantic search tools cover an important part of the trademark and patent clearance process, but they only provide part of the picture, hence we are investing in image recognition technology tools too.
Our image-recognition algorithm module in Markify ProSearch™ enables users to search images by simply uploading a file—and the module is now available for design searches too.
Technology for Alternative Forms of IP Protection
Demonstrating that your innovation, data, and creativity exist at a specific date and time—and have not been altered—is essential for securing your intangible assets. That’s why we have leveraged Blockchain technology to help companies record, manage, and keep track of their creations while ensuring the integrity and the existence of their data.
Our user-friendly platform, Equinox Blockchain can help you demonstrate ownership, gather evidence of trademark use, establish reasonable steps to protect trade secrets, and keep track of all versions and contributions of any asset.
