Life Sciences

Patent intelligence for
decisions that shape a product.

In life sciences, patent questions sit directly beside scientific, development, regulatory and commercial decisions. Global Patents is designed to connect those worlds through product-led FTO and IP intelligence.

Why Life Sciences First

Complex science.
High-value decisions.

A therapeutic or biotech product can combine multiple potentially claim-relevant layers—from active modality and target to formulation, delivery, manufacturing and use. Global Patents begins with the product architecture so the patent workflow can reflect the innovation being developed.

Product context matters

The technical feature model determines which patent concepts, classifications and alternatives deserve attention.

Territory matters

Commercial plans turn a global patent landscape into concrete jurisdictional questions that require evidence and professional review.

Timing matters

FTO is not necessarily a single event. Development, filings, competitor activity and patent status can change before commercialization.

Across the Development Journey

Bring IP intelligence
closer to R&D.

The goal is not to replace formal legal review. It is to make structured patent evidence useful earlier and repeatedly as the product evolves.

01Concept

Structure the invention, technical features and known alternatives.

02Development

Connect changing product architecture to relevant patent themes.

03FTO & Refinement

Search, triage and iteratively review patent-family evidence.

04Pre-Launch

Organize target-market evidence and unresolved legal questions.

05Post-Assessment

Carry evidence into design, licensing, white-space and monitoring work.

Life-Science Scenarios

Start with the scientific
and business question.

These scenarios illustrate where a product-led FTO intelligence workflow can support teams before qualified professionals make final legal conclusions.

Therapeutics & Vaccines

Which patent families intersect the product we intend to develop?

Model claim-relevant features such as modality, antigen or target, formulation, delivery and medical use, then connect them to an explainable search design.

Decision context: development direction · FTO scoping · target markets · design alternatives
Formulation & Delivery

Where could a delivery architecture create a separate FTO question?

Separate product risk axes so a formulation, carrier or delivery system can be investigated alongside—but not confused with—the active therapeutic concept.

Decision context: formulation choice · delivery technology · design-around · licensing
Platform Technologies

How does a platform intersect with downstream product applications?

Structure reusable technical features and specific product embodiments so evidence can be reviewed at the appropriate level of technical and commercial relevance.

Decision context: platform strategy · portfolio development · white space · partnering
Investment & Transactions

What IP questions deserve deeper diligence before capital is committed?

Organize product, market and patent-family evidence so investors and strategic partners can identify unresolved issues for specialist review.

Decision context: diligence · licensing · acquisition · strategic investment
Basel, Switzerland

Built close to
life-science innovation.

Global Patents is being developed from Basel—an environment where pharmaceutical, biotechnology, research, investment and professional IP expertise intersect. It provides a focused launch environment for developing the platform with demanding life-science use cases before broader sector expansion.

Domain proximity

Develop around real scientific and IP workflows rather than generic AI search.

Professional ecosystem

Engage IP specialists, companies, researchers and strategic capital around the same decision chain.

Global orientation

Use Switzerland as a focused starting point for cross-border patent and innovation intelligence.

Confidential Life-Science Work

The more valuable the context,
the more carefully it must be protected.

Product-led FTO can involve unpublished inventions, technical alternatives, own filings, development stage, market-entry plans and legal strategy. Global Patents therefore treats confidentiality and controlled AI infrastructure as core product requirements.

01
Protected data environment

Sensitive information is handled within protected processing environments.

02
No training on customer data

Customer documents, inventions, searches and case information are not used to train AI models.

03
Customer & matter isolation

Sensitive information is designed to remain segregated across organizations and professional matters.

04
Expert-led conclusions

AI supports evidence work; qualified professionals remain responsible for legal interpretation and final conclusions.

From FTO to Innovation Intelligence

The clearance question
creates a reusable intelligence asset.

A structured FTO case can become the foundation for recurring monitoring, portfolio intelligence and broader strategic understanding of the innovation landscape.
