Minesoft was set up by Ann Chapman and Ophir Daniel in 1996 to develop databases and soft
ware solutions in the Information Industry. Specialising in the IP (Intellectual Property) field, Minesoft designs and develops solutions for patent data being published by National Patent Offices around the world.
In today's fast-moving technological environment, researchers need to be kept in tune with the latest technologies and ideas being developed by competitors, and Minesoft's suite of innovative products are used by leading companies around the world, as well as by specialised and litigating Law Firms in the field of IP to fulfill this need.
Minesoft's team of web developers and business development staff work closely with large corporations. Information and workflow solutions are designed, enabling new and competitive advances to be closely monitored in the worldwide patent literature. Resulting information is fed to relevant staff and top management, thus creating an important asset and a bespoke searchable knowledge resource for the organisation.
The prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise in International Trade was awarded to Minesoft for its outstanding performance in rapidly growing export markets in the field of Intellectual Property (patent) information and has been a fabulous way to demonstrate success and high achievement to Minesoft clients.
A major contribution to the success of Minesoft is the intuitive products, designed and developed in-house. Within the last year, a well-received new release of PatBase - the international patent family database developed in partnership with RWS Group - was launched, building on the great success of the seven years since its inception.
An ongoing commitment to providing and facilitating the retrieval of vital patent information from fast-growing Asian markets is reflected in enhancements such as improved coverage, Non-Latin search forms and machine translation tools.
Innovative new patent landscaping and visualisation tools - enabling companies to monitor competitor patent filing trends and activities - continue to be integrated into Minesoft products. As many thousands of individual patents may be filed in busy sectors each year, it has become more important than ever to keep a close watch on both competitive activity and newcomers into core fields in the increasingly global economy of today.
Minesoft continues to grow strongly in the leading Western and in the emerging Asian Nations, with steady expansion in the US, Germany and East Asia.
