Pharmaceutical research requires precise and actionable chemical intelligence.  Each new drug, formulation, or therapeutic molecule starts as a chemical structure.  Before a pharmaceutical company invests in the synthesis, trials, or patent filing of a structure, it must know if the structure already exists in worldwide patents, chemistry databases, or scientific disclosures. Chemical patent structure search enables this clarity.  By analyzing the compounds through structure drawings, rather than text, it finds exact matches, lookalike molecules, substructures, and related chemical families hidden inside patent documents. This search is not optional but of prime importance for a pharma company in order to mitigate development risks while accelerating innovation. What is Chemical Patent Structure Search? Chemical patent structure searches identify chemical compounds that are present in global patent literature based on the graphic structure of a molecule rather than name...

As the modern world moves towards becoming an innovation-driven one, protection of intellectual property becomes of great significance to inventors and businesses alike. Patent infringement is the term used to describe unauthorized utilization of patented technology, which can result in monetary loss, damaged reputation, and even prolonged litigation.  Among the most effective tools in detection and proving infringement is the claim chart. This structured analytical document bridges the gap between patent claims and product features, providing clear, visual evidence of potential overlap. In this blog, we will describe how to find patent infringement using claim charts, outline each step of the process in detail, and indicate common pitfalls, as well as show how professional Evidence of Use services can help improve your IP strategy. Understanding Patent Infringement and Its Impact Patent infringement is the manufacture, use, sale, or importation of an invention within the scope o...
