Internal Standards Solutions
Without a robust standards management solution, integrating internal and industry standards in complex projects can result in disorganization, missed changes, compliance risks, and quality issues. Our Internal Standards Solutions (ISS) consolidates internal and industry standards into one platform, empowering engineering leaders to mitigate risks related to quality, safety, and compliance. Unlike traditional methods such as mail, email, proprietary portals, or in-person delivery, ISS within EWB enables real-time document sharing with suppliers and monitoring of usage compliance.

- A graphical toolset for performing a range of analyses on that same set of 107+ million patents and applications. Extract valuable intelligence from patent bibliographic data and spot influential trends with Patent Intelligence semantic analysis and metadata.
- Patent Search, Technology Analysis, Company Analysis, and Patent Reference Analysis tools help you identify trends, companies, and innovators.
- The Patent Search Tool
- Search for specific patents based on a variety of criteria (patent number, title, assignee, abstract, etc). This is helpful when you know the document required or would like to identify patents assigned to a given company or a particular inventor.
- View semantically generated summaries of patents in any of the supported languages (English, French, German, Japanese, Simplified Chinese), regardless of the language of the original document. Quickly and easily determine whether a given patent is applicable to your research, then view the full-text patent in the original language, either in a text-based HTML document or as a PDF document.
- The Patent Search Tool
- Patent Search, Technology Analysis, Company Analysis, and Patent Reference Analysis tools help you identify trends, companies, and innovators.
- Maps semantically relevant discussions of a technology against one or more patent content sources.
- Analysis results include:
- Patent activity for up to 5 assignees (inventors or organizations employing the inventor) or groups
- Bibliographic data
- Assignee List
- Blended inventor list
- Patent class distribution
- Top 5 assignees, inventors and patent classes
- The tool presents you with a view of patent activity related to a particular technology over time, so you can understand, for example, where the technology is in its lifecycle. That information could be useful in evaluating whether a company should make investments in researching a technology, or direct investment elsewhere. Leading inventors can also be identified, helping you find key researchers around a given technology area.
- Generates a specific innovation profile for one assignee or a group of assignees to help identify core technologies, key inventors, trends within specific technologies, and citation anomalies.
- The analysis includes:
- Patent Activity Chart
- Inventor Lists
- Bibliographic data
- Class distribution
- The resulting chart and listing data can help identify:
- Core Technologies
- Key Inventors
- Trends within specific technologies
- Citation anomalies
- The analysis includes:
- View a company’s activities related to patents and technologies or compare the activities of multiple companies to understand competitive trends over time. This helps you understand how much companies are investing in research related to technology.
- View citations of a patent by other patents (as well as by/from patent applications), in addition to mapping out the assignees/companies attached to forward and backward references.
- Backward references provide a map to the “pedigree” of a patent – the history of the technologies or innovations incorporated into the patent.
- Forward citations are often very useful in determining potential innovation barriers, competitors, or licensing opportunities. “Young” patent documents with relatively high forward citation counts are particularly useful to discover and investigate technology trends, owners, and valuation.
- Tailor your working environment to suit your project requirements and research needs
- Saved Searches and Alerts
- Save queries for later use, or schedule specified queries to run periodically and email you about new results. Save queries to your Home Page or link them to a project saved in your personalized workspace.
- Provides a place for you to save, organize, and share your search related to a project or topic of interest.
