Always one step ahead - with the latest patent data

As one of the largest patent databases worldwide, the IP7 Multibase patent database has been specifically developed for searches and patent monitoring. It enables flexible evaluations at document, application and family level - including strict and extended patent families - and thus creates transparency in complex international patent structures.

The IP7 patent database is updated weekly to ensure that traditional and AI-based searches are always up to date. Supplemented by current legal status data and optimized data preparation by IP7, even large volumes of hits can be analysed quickly and reliably.

What is a multibase patent database?

A multibase patent database enables the flexible analysis of patents at document, application and family level - tailored to the respective use case. This means that searches, evaluations and monitoring can be carried out more precisely, as the appropriate level of analysis is always used.

Answers to the most important questions about the IP7 patent database

The patent database is updated weekly so that both new publications and legal status data are always available.

The IP7 patent database comprises over 100 countries and patent organizations worldwide and covers all relevant industrial nations. The focus is on fully integrated and consistent databases.

Yes, both traditional research and AI-based analysis access the same, regularly updated database and therefore deliver consistent and up-to-date results.

Yes, the data is processed on a weekly basis so that even very large volumes of hits can be efficiently analyzed and prioritized at any time on an up-to-date basis. With the AI-Innovator up to 200,000 patents can be evaluated directly via chat and analyzed specifically for technical content.

The IP7 patent database is a multibase patent database. This means that patent families can be analyzed flexibly at document, application, strict and extended family level. This allows international relationships and priorities to be traced precisely.

Yes, the combination of precise classic research and AI-supported analysis as well as a consistent database makes IP7 suitable for well-founded and reliable research, also in a legal context.

Very high numbers of documents often result from multiple counting or the inclusion of additional "non-patent documents" such as designs. Patent numbers that are not consolidated can also lead to duplicates and increase the number of documents.
IP7 relies on a cleansed and consolidated database. Documents are standardized and duplicates are removed - for precise and reliable search results.

IP7 only counts countries and patent organizations whose data is obtained directly from the respective offices and is fully integrated. Indirectly available data, for example via international organizations such as WIPO, are taken into account but deliberately not counted, as these databases are often incomplete.
Moreover, it is not only the number of countries that is decisive, but also the depth and timeliness of the data. IP7 attaches great importance to ensuring that both historical patent data is comprehensively available and that new publications are regularly and reliably updated.
