First of its kind, Beacon ADC Patents, is a patent database developed specifically for scientists working in drug development. The new platform is designed to help researchers, intellectual property professionals, R&D decision-makers, and commercial intelligence teams effectively explore, filter, and interpret patent information that is often buried in dense and ambiguous documents.

 

Patent literature is a valuable source of insight for drug developers, but it can be difficult to navigate. Traditional patent search tools often generate large volumes of irrelevant results, struggle with scientific terminology, and lack domain-aware filtering. Beacon ADC Patents addresses these challenges by applying scientific ontologies, expert curation, and advanced search methods to filter out noise and present high-impact patent data in a way that is usable and easy.

Bringing Clarity to a Booming ADC Patent Landscape

At its core, Beacon ADC Patents helps you reduce risk, uncover opportunities, and save time in your innovation workflow. Key features include:

  • Expert-in-the-loop summaries that reduce false positives and highlight critical patent claims
  • Modality-specific and technology search filters, enabling users to focus on relevant classes of inventions
  • Cross-language patent translation, making patents filed in non-English jurisdictions accessible and usable
  • Structured classification and ontology support, which allow consistent comparison across patents
  • Global coverage, including translated Chinese patents and filings from key international authorities

Andy Cook, Chief Data Innovation Officer at Beacon said: “Beacon ADC Patents has been developed by scientists who understand how difficult it can be to extract value from traditional patent databases. Our platform suppresses the noise of false positives and makes it faster and easier for scientists to uncover relevant, high-impact patents that are critical to their R&D efforts. By presenting data in a clear, structured format, we’re helping users map competitor activity, identify potential risks, and explore new areas of innovation with confidence.”

Designed with Scientists in Mind

Beacon ADC Patents is built around the needs of patent analysts, researchers, and R&D teams who often spend significant time filtering through broad and inefficient patent databases. Beacon’s patent platform has been developed through consultation with domain experts to ensure it provides usability and granularity while maintaining scientific rigour.

With Beacon ADC Patents You Can:

  • Apply filters by modality, therapeutic area, technology class, and patent events
  • Read concise AI summaries with key chemical, biological, or molecular claims highlighted
  • Compare related patent families and track filing histories
  • Translate non-English filings into English where needed
  • Export curated results for further review in internal workflows

By combining domain-aware ontologies and manual curation, Beacon ADC Patents supports deeper insight than generic patent databases.

Extending Beacon’s Data Ecosystem

Beacon Patents complements Beacon’s existing suite of therapeutic area databases and currently extends to Beacon ADC, but will expand to Beacon Bispecific and Beacon Oncology soon. Our patents data is built around the same principles of scientific curation, data integrity, and usability.

As with other Beacon products, Beacon Patents will continue to evolve, with planned enhancements including deeper commercial patent metrics, integration with drug and trial data, and expanded coverage.
