LONDON, December 2 /PRNewswire/ --

- New Release Enables Customers To Make Better Intellectual Property
Decisions

The Scientific business of Thomson Reuters today announced the
forthcoming release of Thomson Innovation(SM) 2.0, the next generation of the
company's premier intellectual property (IP) research and analysis solution,
with a preview of new content and functionality at the Online Information
Conference 2008. The product will be available publicly 15 December 2008.

The ThemeScape landscape visualization tool enables an at-a-glance view
of search results including first-level patent data, value-added patent
information from Derwent World Patents Index(R) (DWPI(SM)), and scientific
literature (comprising Web of Science(R), Current Contents Connect(R),
Inspec(R) and ISI Proceedings(SM)). With the consistency of language used in
DWPI's all-English abstracts, the quality of the resulting analysis is far
superior to that from a landscape map created with first-level patent data.

"Time and again we hear how important it is for customers to not only be
able to search complete, reliable information, but to also make it
actionable," said David Brown, executive vice president for the Scientific
business of Thomson Reuters. "Thomson Innovation 2.0 directly addresses this
need and further cements the product's position as the world's leading IP
research and analysis solution."

Other enhancements in the release include:

-- English translations of the titles, abstracts and all claims for
Chinese utility models and Chinese applications, both from 2007 - present

-- A clustering tool that automatically categorizes patent documents
through the linguistic analysis of text found in user selected fields and
establishes document relationships that otherwise would take hours, if not
days, to complete

-- Tracking functionality that enables the centralized control of
managing research done across an organization, including reporting options
for client chargebacks and cost allocation
