Bio

PatSnap Bio is an AI-powered biosequence search and analysis platform designed for bio-innovators, IP professionals, and life sciences organisations. It provides access to the world's largest sequence database, combining patent and non-patent sources to help users validate novelty, assess freedom-to-operate (FTO), and drive strategic innovation with confidence.

The platform indexes over 1,024 million sequences from patents, 627 million sequences from scientific literature, 50 million degenerate sequences, and covers more than 80 jurisdictions — spanning 2.5 million patents and 2.6 million literature sources with sequences. This breadth of coverage makes PatSnap Bio a comprehensive resource for end-to-end sequence intelligence.

Core Capabilities

• AI-powered search: Cutting-edge AI tools automate IP analysis and sequence retrieval, turning workflows that previously took weeks into tasks completed in minutes.
• Best-in-class database coverage: The integrated platform connects patent and non-patent sources in a single environment, ensuring thorough novelty assessments across global IP landscapes.
• Seamless collaboration: Shared Workspaces and comprehensive analysis reports minimise friction and maximise team efficiency for faster results.
• Hiro AI Assistant: A personal AI assistant that helps users master advanced searches and gain instant insights into bio-innovation trends.
• Advanced novelty search algorithms: State-of-the-art algorithms handle degenerate sequences, chemical modifications, antibody and CDR searches, and short sequences to ensure thorough candidate novelty checks.
• Strategic innovation intelligence: Gain insight into new technology development and uncover therapeutic opportunities for novel sequences to drive pipeline decisions.
• Competitor monitoring: Visualise and track competitor movements globally with AI-driven insights, identify whitespace, and pinpoint litigation hotspots.
• Fast-track FTO analysis: Locate claimed sequences in seconds and gain a clear picture of the IP landscape to accelerate time to market.

End-to-End Workflow

1. Search: Query the world's largest integrated sequence database across patents and literature.
2. Refine: Apply advanced filters including variation filters, antibody/CDR parameters, degenerate sequence options, and chemical modification criteria.
3. Review: Analyse results with AI-generated insights, drug/gene indices, and comprehensive IP landscape reports.
4. Collaborate: Share findings and reports with team members through shared Workspaces and data export functionality.
