Best Patent Research Software

Researched and written by Neya Kumaresan

Patent research software, sometimes called intellectual property research software, helps manage the patent research and analysis process. These solutions provide access to a searchable database of patents and give users tools to analyze and report on relevant information housed in the database.

Companies and law firms specializing in intellectual property use patent research solutions to help craft better patents, understand the intellectual property landscape they compete in, and accurately discern patent value. Patent research software gives legal professionals, patent owners, and patent researchers the tools to make more informed decisions about how to manage their intellectual property (IP) portfolio

Patent research software often integrates with, and at a minimum complements, intellectual property management software.

To qualify for inclusion in the Patent Research category, a product must:

Provide access to a searchable global database of patents
Analyze patent data
Produce reports on intellectual property (IP) data
