The Lens now provides open datasets of patent documents, scholarly research works and biological sequences disclosed in patents. This knowledge may help show ways forward: new or repurposed ideas and inventions, better strategies and targeted partnerships for collective action.
With Support from the Rockefeller Foundation. We must be driven by urgency, inspired by imagination and informed by evidence.
Explore the collections and datasets.
Discover, analyse, and map global innovation knowledge. Bridging the cultures of scholarly research with invention and industry, the Lens offers the following capabilities.
Patent Search and Analysis
Our patent search capabilities offer advanced boolean functions, structured search, biological search, classification search, filtering and sorting options to find the most relevant and important patents.
Scholarly Search and Analysis
Lens serves over 200 million scholarly records, compiled and harmonized from Microsoft Academic, PubMed and Crossref, enhanced with UnPaywall open access information, CORE full text and links to ORCID. The full scholarly citation graph is provided for the first time as an open public resource,
Discover Experts & Collaborators
Explore which scholarly works have influenced what patents and who is using scholarly work to build products and services. Dynamic and interrogable, identify and visualize important linkages and explore networks of collaborations, leading to better partnerships and delivering outcomes of value.
Mapping Influence of Scholarship
The International Industry & Innovation Influence Mapping (In4M) uses citation-based metrics to map the influence of academic research on academia and enterprise. In4M explores, exposes and ranks the degree to which scholarly work output influences outcomes for society.
Collections, Portfolios and Reports
Create, annotate and share collections of your patent and scholarship portfolio. Create and publish collections of patents or scholarship, explore these collections to understand who does what, when and where, who influences whom: to inform decision-making for partnering, for investing or for research trajectories.
Explore Biological Sequences
This is the world’s largest publicly available database with internal transparency metrics. Choose among the 5 apps available to you to search and analyse the DNA, RNA and protein sequences found in patents and how these can inform innovation or shape strategies for research or product development.
