The Lens

The Lens is for researchers, librarians, inventors, and people tracking technology or research trends who need to search patent and scholarly literature together. It connects the two: you can find research cited by patents, see which patents cite a scholarly work, and follow citation links between science and technology. Search patents by keywords or by fields such as title, abstract, claims, inventor, applicant, and classification. Search scholarly works by topic and refine results using publication details and other metadata. Filters and sorting help narrow large result sets; patent tools also include biological-sequence search. Use the platform to review prior art, explore research related to a technology, map citations, and examine an organization’s research output. You can organize records into collections, save searches, and use analysis dashboards and visualizations to explore results. Searching is available without an account; account features support managing saved work.
