- Platform links IET Inspec’s science and engineering research database with Minesoft’s patent information services
- Patent and intellectual property professionals to benefit from intuitive search function
The
Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and global information
solutions provider, Minesoft, have today announced the launch of their Minesoft Inspec platform.
The service will provide fast, easy access to high
quality science and engineering research intelligence. The new platform is
designed to benefit patent professionals and end-users working in the
intellectual property and patent fields and links the IET’s Inspec database
with Minesoft’s patent information services and tools.
With over 13 million abstracted and indexed
articles available, users can research existing and emerging technologies in a
flexible, precise way. Minesoft Inspec’s key features, which include
specialised indexing and precise search filters, lets users optimise the
highest levels of speed and accuracy when accessing research. For research
teams, there is also the option to save and share results folders via the
intuitive Minesoft Inspec user interface.
Daniel Smith, head of academic publishing at the
IET, commented: “Sourced from 8,000 scientific and technical journals, videos
and books, Inspec is already an essential resource for those in the engineering
and technology industries, with over three quarters of a million records added
every year. Combining this high quality database with Minesoft’s
industry-leading patent information services creates a powerful, centralised
pool of information for the patent community. Not only will Minesoft Inspec be
a valuable source of intelligence, it will also have practical implications,
saving users time and resource normally spent searching for patent related
information.”
In
addition to providing direct links to the original full text journal articles
from across the engineering and technology worlds, Minesoft Inspec also offers
the ability to monitor competitors and new technologies. Weekly alerts can be
sent to users to keep them informed on the latest developments and ensure that
intelligence is being shared effectively to drive further industry innovation.
Ann
Chapman, Joint MD at Minesoft, said: “Our partnership with the IET allows us to
offer an established and essential research resource on our innovative and
powerful platform, which we have no doubt will be a huge benefit for the patent
community. As the quantity of information available on the platform continues
to grow, the quality of search experience we provide will ensure users can
access the exact content they are seeking.”
Advanced
professional and end-user Express versions of Minesoft Inspec are available for
purchase through a flat rate annual subscription for institutions. For more
