Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology (MJIIT) and Yamaguchi University have announced a collaboration to build a comprehensive research platform using global patent information and IP analysis tools from Clarivate Analytics and financial information from Thomson Reuters Eikon. This platform will enable MJIIT students, researchers and academics to perform deep IP analysis across multiple disciplines, and gain insights about industry trends and emerging technologies.
This initiative also supports MJIIT's innovation lifecycle in sustainable engineering and management of technology, spanning basic research to commercialization. Clarivate Analytics will assist in developing competent human capital within MJIIT through customized training and professional advice.
MJIIT is one of Malaysia's leading research universities in engineering science and technology. Along with this initiative, MJIIT and Yamaguchi University, Japan's third oldest national university, have established the International Joint Intellectual Property Laboratory (IJIPL), which aims to create an IP research hub in Asia. Given the increasing importance of academic-industry partnerships, it is important to leverage the most current and comprehensive patent and business-related information as well as scientific literature. Such information plays a key role in helping the IJIPL community to address multidisciplinary research, and gain a wide view of current and emerging technologies to support informed decision-making related to research and development.
This research platform initiative by MJIIT and Yamaguchi University is supported by Clarivate solutions – Thomson Innovation, Derwent World Patents Index and Thomson Data Analyzer – and the Thomson Reuters flagship financial services platform Thomson Reuters Eikon. MJIIT financed the databases through Japan's Official Development Assistance (ODA) program, which was established in 1954 to help developing nations.
Thomson Innovation enables MJIIT users to access the world's most comprehensive international patent coverage from Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI) and scientific literature, with powerful capabilities to perform IP analysis and collaborate efficiently. DWPI is used and trusted by more than 40 patent-issuing authorities worldwide, and provides the world's most comprehensive collection of enhanced global patent data in English translated from 29 languages. This gives users the most extensive view of activity in emerging and growing markets. Subject experts from Clarivate correct, analyze, abstract and manually index every patent record, making it easier for users to quickly find the information they need to make informed decisions.
Thomson Data Analyzer (TDA) is the industry-leading analysis tool that transforms large amounts of IP data into actionable reports allowing for more strategic IP decisions. Users can easily analyze trends, profile competitors, avoid or uncover patent infringement, and identify strategic development opportunities. TDA empowers users to analyze patent data and scientific literature from any structured database directly on their desktop.
Thomson Reuters Eikon is a powerful and intuitive next-generation solution for consuming real-time and historical data, enabling financial markets transactions and connecting with the financial markets community. It is the intelligent and simple solution for today's academic researchers to explore industries, emerging trends, adjacent markets and the competitive landscape. Eikon delivers global cross-asset information, news, research report and analytics to reveal new insights.
