Year-after-year, Japan continues to lead the world in published patents. With so much patent activity happening in Japan, Thomson Reuters has launched a localized version of Thomson Innovation for Japanese-speaking professionals to accelerate their intellectual property research and analysis activities.

The new Japanese interface enables Japanese-speaking professionals to more easily take advantage of Thomson Innovation’s comprehensive collection of global patent data and robust analysis and collaboration tools.

“We understand our customers’ IP needs and the business and cultural context in Japan,” said Mr. Masaki Nagao, managing director of the Japan Regional Business Unit, Scientific business of Thomson Reuters. “By providing access to Thomson Innovation in Japanese, we enable customers to provide broader access to critical worldwide research throughout their organizations. By removing the language barrier, we are helping our customers to optimize their effectiveness and accelerate their business decisions in today’s dynamic marketplace.”

Thomson Innovation integrates intellectual property, scientific li terature, business data and news with analytic, collaboration and alerting tools. Researchers, information professionals, attorneys and analysts can simultaneously search global patent data, Japanese and Asian patent sources, scientific literature, and business and news content to help their companies inspire innovation, drive strategy, increase productivity and gain a competitive advantage. During 2008 Thomson Innovation was recognized by R&D Magazine as one of the top 100 most technologically significant products, and also received an InfoWorld 100 Award.

Thomson Innovation is the most complete resource for prior art and competitive intelligence research with:

• Comprehensive coverage of Asia-Pacific patent information in English, including Japanese full-text, Korean abstracts and editorially-enhanced abstracts of Chinese data
• A fully-integrated, searchable patent database combining Derwent World Patents Index® (DWPI) editorially-enhanced records with full-text documents

• Support of strategic IP decision making through powerful analysis and visualization tools, such as charting, citation mapping and search result ranking
• Enhanced collaboration capabilities, including customizable folder structures that enable users to organize, annotate, search and share relevant files

“Localizing the user interface in Japanese for Thomson Innovation means enhanced usability for our customers, enabling them to access our global, award-winning IP research and analysis resource with valued-added DWPI more easily within their local business environment,” said Mr. Mark Garlinghouse, vice president and managing director of the Asia Pacific Scientific business of Thomson Reuters. “This investment demonstrates our strong commitment to Japan and plans to expand our market here with corporate solutions.”
