ORBIS Intellectual Property

Orbis Intellectual Property (Orbis IP) currently tracks more than 110 million patents and covers countries from across the globe.

The global patent data are linked to companies and corporate groups, which means that you can combine company information with global patent data, such as publication information, ownership, industry and patent classification, and patent value. You can also find data on M&A deals and corporate structures - all related to patents. 

Scope your query in the search field to zoom in on:

  • Patents
  • Litigations
  • Companies

Orbis IP provides information on the following topics:

  • Patent portfolies for a company and its corporate group
  • Ownership timeline for all patents
  • M&A information as a tool to monitor patents that have been sold as intangible assets in a M&A deal.
  • Information on Standard Essential Patents (SEP)
  • Portfolio and patent valuations for all granted live patents 

Orbis IP coverage:

Access to more than 110 million patent documents that typically range in size between 16 and 3.000 pages of text as well as up-to-date details for approximately 300.000 SEPs (Standard Essential Documents).

In the version that CBS Library has access to, you only have access to a limited part of the patent data
You can find the "Patents" tab in the section Intellectual Property.
Among the search criteria are Number of patents and Patent Details (Date, International patent classification (IPC), and more). You can also do free text search into the patents.

 

 

As Data Variables (choose Add/remove columns) you can find (and export) data on Number of publications (Patents), Number of live publications (Patents), Number of pending publications and Number of granted publications.


"Historical" version of ORBIS

[ORBIS also provides access to historical financial data from 2000 onwards. Historical financial data on European companies from 1995 is available in AMADEUS.

Search hint: Type the name of the owner into the search bar at the top of the screen. The results list the corresponding owners. You can view the profile of a listed owner by clicking on its name:

Google Patent Search.

Start typing the name of the company (assignee). If Google recognizes it as a company, it will automatically add the +assignee to search the assignee field (Assignee: Carlsberg). If not, just add it to your search.

Searh hint: 
enter the company's name, omitting any abbreviations such as Ltd., Corp., etc. Then change the field code to Assignee Name and click on Search


Assignment Data:
Sometimes an invention gets assigned to a company (assignee) after the patent has been applied for, or even after it has issued. If so, the assignee will not appear on the face of the patent, nor will it be noted in the application and/or patent full-text database(s). The USPTO records this information (although it is not required), and assignee changes are available via the USPTO Patent Assignment Database.

Lens.org

The Lens, formerly called Patent Lens, is a free and open reource to find, analyze, and manage patent and scholarly literature data. It is provided by Cambia, an Australia-based non-profit organization.

Launched in 2000 as the Patent Lens, over the years,  it added journal articles, conference papers, reports, books and other types of scholarly literature and evolved into a comprehensive database with over 225+ million scholarly works, 127+ million global patent records, and more than 370 million biological sequences, all with unprecedentedly rich metadata (including citations).

Lens.org:
Search, analyze, manage, and map patents and scholarly research. 

Lens is divided into several apps:

  • Patents: Collection of patent literature with citation indexing. Search patents with keywords and create advanced searches. Limit results using filters like classifications (CPC, ICPR, US) and jurisdiction. Create and share custom annotated dashboards showing analyses and visualizations. Search tips in Patents Knowledge Base and Patent Search Tutorial.
     
  • PatCite: Track, filter, sort, and link scholarly articles that are cited in patents and examine the citing patents. Discover new partners and collaborators, as well as how research is influencing inventions. Search tips in Patents Knowledge Base and  PatCite Tutorial.
     
  • PatSeq: Search, analyze, and share the biological sequences disclosed in patent literature. The extracted gene sequences (DNA, RNA and protein sequences) are fully searchable and biological organisms are indexed to allow for searching by species.
    PatSeq includes:
    • PatSeq Data: Compare biological patent holdings and view sequence disclosures across jurisdictions over time
    • PatSeq Explorer: Navigate and analyze patent-disclosed sequences mapped onto genomes and chromosomes
    • PatSeq Analyzer: Compare patenting activity at the chromosomal locus or gene level
    • PatSeq Finder: Input DNA or protein sequences to find matches
    • PatSeq Text-Search: Search for patents that declare at least one sequence in their sequence listings section as derived from a specific species
       
  • Schorlarly works: searchable database of scholarly literature. Scholarly literature metadata with citation indexing. Visualize and analyze research outputs using filters like institution, publication type, and funding. View a full scholarly citation graph and create and share custom and preset dashboards showing your analyses.
