Case Study: eCential Robotics improves patent monitoring and IP collaboration with PatSnap

Challenging the status quo in healthcare, to create life-changing breakthroughs

eCential Robotics, a leading provider of an all-in-one surgical platform for 2D fluoroscopy, 3D imaging, and real-time navigation, needed a better way to manage patent and competitor intelligence. Its IP team was relying on free tools with low-quality data, which made competitor monitoring, patent filings review, and landscape analysis slow and difficult to share internally. The company used PatSnap, specifically PatSnap Analytics and PatSnap Insights, to improve its innovation intelligence process.

With PatSnap, eCential Robotics implemented daily competitor and technology monitoring, real-time alerts, and easier sharing of patent information with R&D. The result was significantly reduced time spent on competitor monitoring, faster FTO and patentability analyses, stronger collaboration between IP and R&D, and more harmonized internal information sharing. PatSnap helped eCential Robotics become more efficient and reactive, with one reported result being 0x faster conducting competitor monitoring.
