Read below to learn more about IP Connections in CAS SciFinder®, which supports the expanding workflows and responsibilities of today’s scientific researchers.
With IP Connections, you will experience the integration of more critical IP information and improved prior art discovery using science-smart AI.
Below are a few highlights of capabilities and enhancements made possible with IP Connections. For more detailed information, we suggest you view the full release notes linked below.
Patent improvements in substance and reference results
It is now easier to find and interact with patent details in the context of your results. See integrated patent status and claimed substance displays, including more targeted filtering and exporting capabilities.
Prior art discovery enhancements
Prior Art Discovery uses a proprietary, AI-enabled prior art algorithm to help you assess the prior art landscape of your research more confidently. Simply enter free text, with or without substance structure, to retrieve relevant patent and non-patent literature containing prior art.
Interactive IP visualizations
Reference results have been enhanced with new visualizations that allow you to identify trends in your research quicker. You can filter your results by interacting with the chart for a more integrated experience.
Markush enhancements
Experience a larger scope of possible substance variations present in Markush. This will expand your awareness with a more holistic view.
