1. Patent Investigations
We have entered an era in which intellectual property is positioned as a central management asset, and information regarding intellectual property has become indispensable for corporate activities.
Furthermore, with the globalization of business, it has become necessary to simultaneously and quickly obtain intellectual property information and other information in order to decide on business strategies not only from developed countries but also from rapidly emerging countries such as China, India, Russia, Brazil, and other so-called BRICs.
In light of these circumstances, there has been a growing demand in recent years for greater speed and accuracy in obtaining intellectual property and technology information.
