Thomson Reuters Introduces New IP Offering for Law Firms

The Legal business of Thomson Reuters announced a new combined offering for U.S. law firms: Westlaw Patents + Thomson Innovation. This new offering pairs the authoritative legal content of Westlaw with the rich patent research capabilities of Thomson Innovation. It is designed to help legal professionals work smarter and more efficiently across the patent workflow-from patent prosecution to litigation.

Content comprises worldwide patent data, including English-language translations of Asia Pacific patents and enhanced patent data from Derwent World Patents Index, Markman orders, litigation records, file histories, primary law, scientific literature, and analytical libraries. And powerful reporting and analytical tools, such as clustering and citation mapping, help uncover critical patent insights that might otherwise be missed.

To accelerate patent research work, collaboration tools let legal professionals share their research and analysis with colleagues-delivering real-time updates on the work underway. In addition, easy-to-use exporting and reporting gives customers the flexibility to export patent data in preformatted or custom reports that are ready for client presentations.
