Chemscape and Bioscape

SciFindern provides two visualization tools for examining the patent landscape of a molecular structure or biological sequence. These tools, Chemscape and Bioscape, allow inventors to see published intellectual property of materials or sequences similar in structure to searched structures in a 3D bar graph to assist in identifying gaps or existing coverage in a research space.

More information about Chemscape and Bioscape can be found on the SciFinder help page.
