Driving Innovation Forward
Driving innovation is central to the ethos of Minesoft, a patent solutions provider for the intellectual
property industry. With over 80% of the technological and scientific information available in patents
inaccessible anywhere else, ignoring patents as an information source at best delays innovation and
at worst, prevents it.
“What we do offers a benefit to society because studying the existing patent literature helps scientists and
engineers develop their best ideas,” says Ann Chapman, Minesoft Co-Founder. “Technologies of all kinds
are continually driven forward. New ideas and innovative solutions to technical problems are published in
patent documents every single week around the world, adding to the existing ‘State of the Art’”.
Minesoft’s flagship product PatBase enables users, including corporations such as Audi and Siemens,
to protect their designs by checking novelty against existing patents and to solve technical dilemmas by
studying patent texts, patent drawings and non-patent literature. Our Users can access and understand the
most up-to-date scientific research, new ideas and competitor information contained in patent documents
with a range of search and display functionalities, including text and diagrams, semantic searching,
translations and fully-incorporated PatBase Analytics.
