Patent searches and analysis using in silico techniques
In Silico Molecular Discovery (ISMD) use various patent analysis techniques to systematically explore food, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and chemical patents to identify innovation opportunities and assess competitive landscapes. Key approaches include:
Patent landscaping:
- Mapping trends in existing patents to identify research directions.
Patent analytics:
- Extracting insights from large patent datasets to track emerging technologies.
Patent clustering
- Grouping related patents to reveal gaps in chemical space and potential areas for novel drug discovery.
These methods help ISMD pinpoint new opportunities distinct from competitors’ filings, such as guiding scaffold hopping, target hopping, and strategic drug / food development decisions.
R&D savings for our clients
In Silico Molecular Discovery have saved our clients years of research & development work by identifying gaps in intellectual property development programs and finding new areas to explore that overlap with their objectives.
This requires not only technical knowledge and expert understanding of the above approaches but also having a deep understanding of clients needs.
We normally work very closely with our clients during a project to achieve this, although some clients prefer us to lead a project, such as coming up with completely new ideas and then, pretty much leave us to get on with it.
ISMD also bring exceptional creative and lateral thinking skills to the table, gained from “long-time” research experience and a genuine passion for scientific discovery to provide high quality insights that are also grounded in “real life” problem solving solutions.
We also have a long-term partnership with a leading EU patent attorney to expand our capabilities further, where needed.
