PatBase
The number one international patent search resource
With a click of a button, PatBase gives you access to millions of patents, litigation results, legal status information, documentation and more. Developed by RWS in partnership with Minesoft, PatBase is the market-leading international patent search database. Covering over 100 million patents and related documents from over 100 countries, it boasts the most extensive patent and IP data coverage in the world.
RWS originally designed an internal database to provide our searchers with a superior professional search tool. We then joined forces with Minesoft Ltd and, in 2003, launched PatBase as a powerful international patent database. Today, over 50,000 users worldwide have access to +109 million patent and related documents on a user-friendly interface available in English, Japanese and Chinese.
