GenomeQuest Launches LifeQuest for Life Science Intellectual Property Search


GenomeQuest, Inc. today announced the launch of LifeQuest®, a major new product for intellectual property (IP) searching in the life science domain. LifeQuest expands the company's offerings in intellectual property searching, augmenting its market-leading GenomeQuest™ and GQ-Pat™ product offerings for searching patents with biological sequences.

LifeQuest is a searchable index of all patents related to the life science industry. Leveraging widely used life science ontologies, LifeQuest makes finding relevant intellectual property fast and simple, while excluding IP outside of life science industries. LifeQuest is designed to be used by pharmaceutical, biotechnology, agrochemical, food, cosmetics, and oil and gas companies.

"We expect that the LifeQuest offering will enhance the utility of our GenomeQuest product while significantly expanding our customer base beyond those companies that operate i the biological sequence domain," said Richard Resnick, Chief Executive Officer. "With this launch, GenomeQuest becomes the first company to offer a framework for merging comprehensive life science keyword and sequence-based patent analysis on the secure cloud."



The company embarked on the project with over fifteen years of track record building solutions for the life sciences, and surveyed the technology landscape for the most powerful search tools available in the world of Big Data. "LifeQuest employs modern indexing technology and a suite of nearly a dozen life science ontologies to empower patent searchers to find the most relevant and complete set of results as is possible," said Jun Wan, Vice President of Research and Development for GenomeQuest. "Having developed the product very closely with our Customer Advisory Board, it addresses the previously unmet need for a life science vertical patent search tool."

LifeQuest is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS (News - Alert)) offering that runs in the company's secure, private, SOC II and HIPAA-compliant cloud. The product is available at http://www.genomequest.com/lifequest.
