TotalPatent

TotalPatent™, the patent research database by LexisNexis, provides access to all published patent documents for research, retrieval and analysis. TotalPatent has the broadest and deepest collection of patent information from around the world. Patent content is accessible and searchable from the start of publication till current for 100 authorities, of which 30 have full-text coverage. The collection including the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India & China) countries and Asian countries combined with our machine translations makes TotalPatent the most complete patent research tool. Our tailor-made machine translation engines gradually develop our content further on an ongoing basis.

In addition to the standard Boolean searching functionality, LexisNexis® has developed the advanced semantic searching functionality. The semantic search feature in TotalPatent can help improve your prior art and technology landscaping searching. It suggests concepts that relate semantically to your patent search query. You can then choose to narrow your search results by interacting further with the semantic QueryCloud or by using traditional Boolean search terms.

Our TotalPatent research tool is one of the solutions within the LexisNexis IP solutions suite that helps you to protect, develop and maintain patent assets.
