Ongoing Innovation

“

Anything that won't sell, I don't want to invent. Its sale is proof of utility, and utility is success.

”

(Thomas Edison)

Although subtle, there is a keen difference between invention and innovation. Utility represents this distinct difference between innovation and invention. Albeit important, inventors generally spend their fortunes on their ideas whereas innovators create fortunes from their ideas. Our goal is to help you become more than an inventor.

Moral Authority: practice what you preach

Since innovation is generally considered the actualization of an invention, and we claim as a promise to innovate continuously, are we hypocrites? If we don't listen to you and develop tools, reports, and lenses that have meaning to you, indeed we would be. Only you can decide that for yourself.

However, our commitment to you is to continue innovating tools and services that help you rationalize IP asset class. While previous analytical tools focused on finding data, our tools are built to help you both find and then understand what you found. Our data and technologies are only vehicles to help us deliver on our promise — we create actionable business intelligence from patent documents.

Integrity as our competitive advantage

“

A traveler through a country would stop at a village and he didn't have to ask for food or for water. Once he stops, the people give him food, entertain him. That is one aspect of Ubuntu, but it will have various aspects. Ubuntu does not mean that people should not enrich themselves. The question therefore is: Are you going to do so in order to enable the community around you to be able to improve?

Ubuntu is an African belief or tradition that we are all connected. Teamwork and collaboration is the essence of our potential. As summarized by President Kennedy, "A rising tide lifts all boats." We make a bold claim that we are driving the innovation economy. Although bold, it represents our belief. With our technologies, we believe we can offer insights into the mysteries of the IP asset class that will ultimately benefit all interested parties.
