The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is conducting market research to expand its understanding of the market for certain chemistry content. The USPTO's Scientific Technical Information Center (STIC) is supported by over a dozen large contracts with content providers, aggregators, and subscription services. A significant portion of that total investment procures and maintains specialized tools for searching chemical formulas, Markush structures, and numeric properties. In order to maximize the value from the USPTO's investment and to reduce the STIC financial outlay, the USPTO is seeking to expand the number of sources for its Chemistry data portfolio.
