Delphion Unveils New Tools for Intellectual Property Research Service

New productivity tools simplify and accelerate IP research; extend Delphion's leadership in delivering innovative IP solutions

CHICAGO — October 15, 2001 — Delphion Inc., a leading provider of intellectual asset management software and services, today unveiled a set of new productivity tools for its Internet-based intellectual property (IP) research service at www.delphion.com. The new tools provide business professionals with unprecedented power to search, analyze and access IP data. The tools enable users to perform a quick, visual analysis of the patents that comprise their search results, save personalized lists of patents, export patent data to other applications, download patents in bulk, and more.

With the new tools, Delphion — the pioneer of Internet-based IP research — underscores its commitment to delivering breakthrough solutions for accessing and using IP information. This information can help business professionals monitor competitor activities, perform due diligence for mergers and acquisitions, make decisions about buying or building technologies, and identify revenue-generating licensing opportunities.

"From finance to R&D to legal counsel, employees throughout an organization need IP information to make fully-informed business decisions," said Woody Ritchey, president and CEO of Delphion. "Delphion is focused on providing the research tools and services necessary for all business professionals to more easily access and gain value from IP information. The new tools we're making available today are a key part of this ongoing commitment to our customers."

New Productivity Tools
The new Delphion Research productivity tools are designed to help business professionals more quickly and easily manage, analyze and leverage IP information. The tools include:

Work Files
Work Files enable users to create and save personalized lists of patents. Users can refer back to their Work Files any time and use them with other productivity tools like Snapshot and Data Extract to leverage their results for better insights.

Snapshot
Snapshot enables users to get a quick, visual analysis of a Result Set or Work File using bar charts. With Snapshot, users can intuitively assess their search results, prioritize their efforts and dynamically refine their searches even further.

Data Extract
Data Extract lets users export key patent data from up to 20,000 records into other applications. This enables users to leverage their patent research in entirely new ways. For example, users can incorporate research findings into a spreadsheet for further analysis, or include them in a report or presentation.

PDF Express
PDF Express saves users time by enabling them to download multiple patents in batch mode versus opening them one at a time. Users receive a zip file and a list of the downloaded patents that they can save to their local drive.
