Information retrieval

• Do you need information support for your research or business?

• Are you required to conduct a professional search for your project?

• Would you like to protect your innovation, but are not sure whether it is possible?

• Are you interested in publicly accessible information about your competitors?

• Are you required to monitor adverse effects of your pharmaceutical products?

With 20 years of experience, a degree in information science, combined with background in chemistry,
I can offer professional information retrieval from scientific and technical databases with worldwide coverage.

Intellectual property search

To provide comprehensive search of patent information, I combine patent information in publicly available sources with value-added paid databases (including Derwent World Patents Index and Chemical Abstracts)

Information about patent applications, granted patents, utility models, but also non-patent literature.

• State of the art search
  Should be conducted at the beginning of a process of invention– indicates the level of knowledge in a specific field in the worldwide context.
  Main purpose: to avoid expensive duplicate research and development

• Patentability search (novelty search)
  Indicates whether the invention is new and patentable.
  Answers the question: Can I draft a patent application for my invention?

• Freedom to operate search (FTO search)
  Is performed before entering the market
  Answers the question: Does my invention infringe IP rights of others?

• Patent family search
  Search for a collection of patent applications and granted patents covering the same or similar technical content, in various countries and globally.

Medical and pharmaceutical information

Finding relevant scientific publications worldwide on demand or in periodical delivery. I can get you information for pharmacovigilance or data for Periodic Benefit Risk Evaluation Reports (PBRER/PSUR).

These kind of information:

• Adverse effects

• Drug interaction

• Case studies

• Preclinical and clinical studies

• Clinical data
  

Chemical or environmental information

• Search for chemical substances (by name, CAS number, structure)

• Information about chemical substances

• Toxicity and eco-toxicity data

• Support for processes of REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals)
