Effective intellectual property (IP) research requires precision, speed, and access to comprehensive data. CAS IP Finder, powered by STNTM, continues the STNⓇ legacy by enabling trusted, accurate searches without the complexity of traditional systems. Combining advanced search capabilities, extensive data coverage, and streamlined analysis tools, CAS IP Finder equips you with the insights you need to make confident business decisions at every stage of the IP lifecycle.
The need for comprehensive searches
At the intersection of legal, technical, and organizational complexity, patent professionals need actionable insights to support innovation and manage risks. Information access is critical when building IP strategies for patentability, freedom to operate (FTO), competitive intelligence, landscape analysis, and patent monitoring.
Searching with CAS IP Finder can help companies:
- Ensure patentability with precise searches of comprehensive patent databases, reducing risk, and increasing confidence in filings.
- Stay ahead of competitors by analyzing emerging trends and uncovering whitespace opportunities.
- Accelerate time to market by integrating comprehensive prior art searches and identifying untapped areas of research.
- Mitigate risks with detailed freedom-to-operate (FTO) searches that ensure your innovations are clear for commercialization.
- Build stronger patent claims, optimize portfolios, and maximize valuation.
- Identify potential infringements early and monitor competitor activity to protect your intellectual assets.
Advanced search, simplified for every user
Patent professionals often face a trade-off in search tools: precision versus usability. Companies can choose to use an intuitive platform with limited coverage or embark on a steep learning curve to gain access to deep, precise data. CAS IP Finder eliminates this compromise, delivering unparalleled precision, comprehensive content, and ease of use in a single solution.
With CAS IP Finder, you can conduct searches of patent and non-patent literature through the lens of patentability using traditional advanced multi-file command line search, our best-in-class structure search, or our new intuitive methods:
- Proprietary, AI-enhanced exploratory search: Enter free-form text—such as an abstract, patent claim, or competitor’s press release—into a single input field.
- Query Builder: Create structured technical searches in an intuitive point-and-click interface.
Make informed decisions with comprehensive data coverage
By consolidating diverse data sources, CAS IP Finder offers a complete view of the innovation landscape. Access over 100 global scientific, technical, and patent databases integrated into a single platform. With one search, you can leverage information from industry-leading publishers, sequences and formulations data collections, and specialized datasets, including SAR, ADME, and toxicity life science data. This coverage is indispensable for professionals looking to reduce the risk of missed information and enable data-driven decisions at every stage.
Transform data into decisions
Robust IP strategies don’t stop at search results. Effectively communicating findings to diverse teams is essential to extracting the most value from them. With pre-set visualizations and flexible reporting templates in CAS IP Finder, you can analyze and share your insights with ease.
By enabling clear and efficient communication, CAS IP Finder can help to enhance collaboration across teams, align diverse departments, and support faster decision-making.
