Each report underlines trends and directions in the technology domain of interest and includes crucial information on key technology providers.

The database has essential data on each patent, a description of its significance, an evaluation of all inventions as either a primary discovery or an improvement and the technical issues they resolve. The database may be reviewed and updated. Patents are ranked by their pertinence to the technology at hand, or to the demands of the client. This database may be modified in sync with the newly issued patents or published patent applications.
