In November, IP.com will unveil an exciting new chapter for the Prior Art Database. As part of our commitment to enhancing prior art and non-patent literature research, the platform will undergo a major transformation and rebranding. The Prior Art Database will officially become InnovationQ, offering a fresh, modern design and additional functionality, inspired by our premium patent search, analytics platform, InnovationQ+.
The new platform will make navigating vast collections of prior art and non-patent literature more intuitive than ever.
Users can expect a seamless experience with the following enhancements:
- Revamped Interface: With this update, InnovationQ will introduce a more intuitive and user-friendly interface, providing users with a streamlined experience from the moment they log in. The new design reflects a cleaner, more modern look, making it easier than ever to navigate the platform and perform comprehensive searches.
- Enhanced Search Capabilities: All the powerful search features you’re accustomed to, including concept and keyword search options, remain fully intact. The improved interface offers a clearer presentation of search results, with a side-by-side view of the search list on the left and document previews on the right—helping you analyze results more efficiently.
- New Features: We’ve streamlined the research process by adding a list of recent searches and downloads to the home screen, giving users quicker access to past activities. These updates, along with other enhancements inspired by InnovationQ+, ensure a smooth, efficient workflow.
- Seamless Path to Advanced Tools: For users seeking even deeper insights and advanced analytics, InnovationQ will provide a straightforward path to explore additional tools available in InnovationQ+, empowering you to enhance your research capabilities as your needs evolve.
- Improved Navigation: Core tools like publishing and archive browsing functions have been repositioned to the top of the home screen for quicker access, while also remaining available in the sidebar for ease of use.
While the platform’s appearance will change, the strengths that make our Prior Art Database so indispensable will remain. Featuring a diverse collection of non-patent literature and technical disclosures, it will continue to be trusted by users across the IP landscape, including patent examiners, inventors, attorneys, and researchers. This reach enhances the likelihood that users can efficiently locate and verify critical prior art.
Users will continue to benefit from advanced search capabilities, including our proprietary Semantic Gist® engine, which supports innovators and IP professionals in finding relevant prior art faster and with greater precision. Additionally, the ability to publish technical disclosures will remain unchanged, ensuring that users can still contribute to and leverage this vast repository of innovation.
For those seeking even more advanced capabilities, InnovationQ will offer a seamless path to explore and upgrade to InnovationQ+, unlocking enhanced tools and deeper insights.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to streamline and innovate, empowering IP professionals, R&D teams, and innovators across industries!
