Questel announces the acquisition of NRI Cyber Patent, a Tokyo based company founded in 1998 by the Nomura Research Institute which specializes in SaaS solutions for Intellectual Property.

This is Questel’s third acquisition in Japan to advance its strategy of both reinforcing its Japanes presence and enriching its Intellectual Asset Management portfolio. “As icing on the cake, Cyber Patenthas the world’s most complete Japanese patent data” said Charles Besson, Questel CEO, “something that will enhance the quality of our international databases and business intelligence SaaS solutions.”
