Case Study: Takasago (global flavors & fragrances leader) achieves faster, IP-driven innovation with PatSnap

Takasago - Customer Case Study

Takasago, a 95‑year‑old global leader in flavors and fragrances, needed to continually advance its innovation platforms to give customers a competitive edge—especially as the industry increasingly relies on patent literature to solve challenges like malodour coverage. To strengthen their R&D and stay ahead of competitors, Takasago adopted PatSnap’s patent and IP analytics tools to improve visibility into the patent landscape and white‑space opportunities.

Using PatSnap, Takasago can quickly pull up comprehensive IP snapshots, track competitor filings, identify commercially important patents and uncover white space for new molecules, enabling more proactive R&D decisions. PatSnap’s platform has become a time‑saving staple across Takasago’s global teams (including Japan, France and Germany), helping the company be more agile in understanding market direction and supporting the development of state‑of‑the‑art flavors and fragrances for leading consumer brands.
