Collaboration strengthens leading sci-tech information solutions to deliver enhanced insight across R&D and IP workflows

COLUMBUS, Ohio and LONDON, March 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society specializing in scientific information solutions, and PatSnap, a global leader in innovation intelligence, today announced a long-term strategic partnership agreement aimed at accelerating global innovation. This unique collaboration between sci-tech information industry leaders, brings together the depth of CAS human-curated scientific data and the power of PatSnap's AI machine learning and data visualization technologies to deliver enhanced information solutions that address the growing need for deeper insights across disciplines.

This collaboration enables both organizations to quickly augment existing solutions with new content and technology-driven functionality. The partners will also leverage their collective expertise to jointly develop new capabilities. "The CAS and PatSnap teams share a passion for accelerating innovation across industries including healthcare, agriculture, diversified chemicals and energy to improve people's lives," said CAS President Manuel Guzman. "Partnerships are a critical aspect of our strategy to rapidly advance that vision. By working together, we can deliver greater value across the complete discovery and commercialization lifecycle."

"As sci-tech information industry leaders, this partnership reinforces the key role that innovation intelligence plays as companies innovate," said PatSnap Founder & CEO Jeffrey Tiong. "Innovation intelligence has evolved over the years, which is why we believe that applying AI machine learning to patent documents, journals and company data is the next frontier in valuable innovation insights. Through our partnership with CAS, companies and individuals will be able to use our intelligence solution to expand or solidify their position in different markets."

This partnership is a compelling alliance of two contrasting organizations with complementary strengths and a common aspiration.
