Case Study: LanzaTech strengthens IP protection and boosts IP team efficiency with PatSnap

LanzaTech - Customer Case Study

LanzaTech, a clean‑carbon company transforming industrial emissions into fuels and chemicals, needed to protect a fast‑moving portfolio of process and engineering inventions while supporting commercialization (including its first commercial plant in China). With a small in‑house IP team tasked with freedom‑to‑operate analyses, global prosecution and due diligence across new gas streams and products, LanzaTech required a powerful, easy‑to‑use search and analytics tool — and turned to PatSnap.

PatSnap provided an intuitive IP search platform that Alex Edwards and the LanzaTech team use as their primary search tool, enabling easy search creation, exporting and sharing across the team. By driving efficiency and collaboration, PatSnap helped LanzaTech keep most legal and IP work in‑house with very little outsourcing, support aggressive patent protection, and accelerate due diligence—contributing to a stronger IP foothold and real‑world commercialization such as the China ethanol plant that converts steel mill emissions.
