LexisNexis Joins Forces with Univentio Patent Data and Search Platform

Extending the LexisNexis(r) Portfolio of IP products and services to
include the world's most complete collection of patent data

 

LexisNexis has joined forces with Univentio, a foremost provider of
global patent information, to meet the growing need for timely and
comprehensive patent information and tools. LexisNexis will offer
Univentio data, the most comprehensive collection of patent data in the
world, through a powerful innovative patent search platform specifically
designed for the needs of intellectual property (IP) professionals as
well as through lexis.com(r).

 

This reinforces an ongoing commitment by LexisNexis to provide legal and
business professionals with authoritative and comprehensive intellectual
property (IP) research information, productivity tools and services.

 

"With global patent filing, patent infringement, and patent licensing
activities at all time highs, there is a rapidly growing demand among
our customers in law firms and corporations for timely, accurate, and
comprehensive global patent information," said Kurt Sanford, president
and chief executive officer of Corporate and Federal Markets at
LexisNexis. "IP professionals can count on LexisNexis to help them
protect invaluable assets by providing them with the broadest patent
coverage in the world and fast, exact and relevant answers."

 

Univentio, based in the Netherlands, is a leading licensor of patent
data, offering over 100 patent authorities in bibliographic form, 20
authorities in full text, and 20 authorities with machine translations
that allow English language searching across the entire full text
database. Recently, Univentio launched PatentWarehouse, a powerful new
online product that gives customers direct access to its data
repository.

 

"Univentio has always focused on building the highest quality patent
data in the industry," said Willem-Geert Lagemaat, chief executive
officer of Univentio. "Working with LexisNexis will allow us to extend
our reach internationally, and to intensify our efforts in both the
corporate and legal markets. LexisNexis brings enhanced capabilities and
content that will allow us to realize our vision for serving the IP
professional."
