What it is

What It Does

Minesoft develops patent search and IP intelligence software. Its flagship product, PatBase, is an international patent database with built-in analytics, developed jointly with RWS Group (announced 2003). The wider product set covers patent monitoring and legal-status tracking, competitive intelligence, analytics, and custom patent archive solutions. It serves IP professionals, patent attorneys, R&D teams, and corporate IP departments.

This is patent research/IP management software rather than general legal practice software — relevant to IP and patent practice specifically.
