Critical prior art is hiding in global databases, non-English patents, and scientific literature you're not searching. One missed reference can invalidate years of R&D investment. CAS IP Finder, powered by STNTM, gives you comprehensive coverage and precision search tools in one intuitive platform—so you never miss what matters.

Missed prior art can be catastrophic. However, finding every relevant reference is harder than ever. Prior art is buried across millions of global patents, scientific journals, and non-English databases that most searches miss. CAS IP Finder solves this with:
Access to 100+ global scientific, patent, and technical databases in one unified platform instead of missing connections across fragmented sources.
The ability to search 230 million chemical substances by structure, not just keywords, to find prior art that standard text searches can't.
CAS PatentPak®, which highlights scientific data within claims text, so you can easily assess relevance without wasting hours reading an entire document.
Patent searching is more than just running queries: it’s about understanding chemistry, navigating global databases, and interpreting results across languages and generations. Most patent databases force you to choose between comprehensive coverage or technical capabilities, which leaves major coverage gaps.
CAS IP Finder eliminates these gaps by providing the coverage and technical tools you need to understand the full landscape, all in one intuitive platform.
Whether you’re assessing patentability, freedom to operate, or the competitive landscape, CAS IP Finder has the depth, precision, and data your critical decisions require.
