Managing intellectual assets
Chemical Abstracts Services (CAS) and Aurigin have joined forces to provide enhanced intellectual asset management with advanced exploration of chemical patents. The new SciFinder 2000 from CAS will enable researchers to use patent information from SciFinder in Aurigin's Aureka WorkBench.
With SciFinder 2000, scientists can search CAS databases, retrieve patent numbers, then, using the new desktop integration feature, export the patent numbers to the Aureka WorkBench product.
Planned for the fall release is the ability to explore research by company/organization, expanded access to full-text documents in the customer's corporate library, citation linking, reaction searching enhancements and a data mining and visualization capability. The feature, called Panorama, will provide multi-dimensional graphing and navigation capabilities.
Aureka WorkBench is the client interface for the AurekaFoundation Server platform; together provide capabilities for searching, organizing, preserving and managing intellectual assets. The architecture provides access to multiple analysis capabilities and diverse data sources including public patent records and internal corporate documents.
SciFinder was created in 1995 with the vision of providing scientists easy, point-and-click access to chemical information. Scientists at chemical and pharmaceutical companies around the world use the product to explore research topics, browse scientific journals and stay current with scientific developments.
