The Scientific business of Thomson Reuters, US, has announced the forthcoming release of Thomson Innovation 2.0, the latest version of the company's intellectual property (IP) research and analysis solution. Following a preview of new content and functionality at the Online Information Conference 2008, the product will be available publicly from December 15, 2008.
The ThemeScape landscape visualisation tool enables an at-a-glance view of search results including first-level patent data; value-added patent information from Derwent World Patents Index (DWPISM); and scientific literature (comprising Web of Science, Current Contents Connect, Inspec and ISI Proceedings). With the consistency of language used in DWPI's all-English abstracts, the quality of the resulting analysis is projected to be far superior to that from a landscape map created with first-level patent data.
Other enhancements in the release include English translations of the titles, abstracts and claims for Chinese utility models and Chinese applications, both from 2007-present; a clustering tool that automatically categorises patent documents through the linguistic analysis of text found in user selected fields; and tracking functionality that enables the centralised control of managing research done across an organisation, including reporting options for client charge-backs and cost allocation.
