Patently Better Search 🧪🔍

Search by earliest filing date and by total number across our Patents dataset.

Focus in on companies at the start (or end) of their patent journey

Time is everything, so don’t waste yours - only look at companies based on when they filed their patents.

Reach out to the 2 energy companies that only started filing patents in the past 3 years - will you win the race to finding these new innovative companies?

Or broaden your search to the 295 energy companies that haven’t filed any patents in the past 3 years - will you help these companies restart the protection of their intellectual property?

Whether you care about recency or consistency, our search tools will guide you towards the right companies.

Separate the Davids from the Goliaths

Narrow down your search for companies based on the total number of patents they have or don’t have.

Discover the 3,528 companies that have filed at least 10 patents - do these companies need your support to manage their intellectual property portfolio?


Or find the 17 AgriTech companies with 2 patents or less - do these companies need your help to better protect their unique inventions?

ESG, Innovation and Growth Signals

As you may have noticed, we have a lot of data on the platform. And to be honest, this can sometimes make it hard to find interesting companies or even know if an opportunity is right in front of your nose without digging into the details or running complex searches.

Our new dataset, Signals, simplifies our complex knowledge graph of events, funding, classifications, business activity, patents, regulatory findings and lots more to something easy to understand; speeding up your discovery and understanding of companies interesting to you.

To kick off, we are introducing Growth, Innovation and ESG signals across hundreds of thousands of companies, but watch this space for even more coming soon 👀

You can find signals at the top of the company page and in advanced search.

You can read the FAQs for a full breakdown of the signals and how we create them.


Growth

For long-time fans, these signals will look familiar and cover most of our existing tracking triggers. Many of you care most about the high-growth ecosystem, and these will continue to be a great way of zeroing in on these companies.

Search for Growth


Innovation

Finding companies focused on innovation is now also much easier. Here, we cover those that have received significant R&D Grants, Academic Spinouts and those that have been granted a patent.

Search for Innovation

NB: Those with access to our Patents add-on can dig into patent details and create more complex patent searches. Speak to your Account Manager to find out more.


Environmental, Social & Governance

Enhancing our ESG coverage has been requested by many of you, but we are also conscious it has no set definition or measurements. We are starting out by offering nine signals across ESG, uncovering a range of topics from business activity relating to environmental impact, to how regulatory filings can provide indications on diversity and equality. We’ll also highlight when ESG-focused funders, high-growth lists and accelerators support companies.

Search for ESG


This is just the beginning of how we plan to help you unlock potential in the green economy, and your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve what we measure and how it’s represented to give the fairest view of the UK economy.

If you have any feedback or ideas for other interesting signals, please let me know.

Also, watch out for our newsletter this week for an ESG takeover diving into some of our early learnings from this new dataset. Sign up here if you aren’t already.

You’ve Got (Improved) Mail ✉️

With the new Recent Activity email update, you can easily and quickly see what's happening at companies within your collections.

Instantly view the types of events you care about

We’ve changed the grouping of the recent activity events, now bringing together events based on the activity types you’ve selected to receive.

As you can see, activity types each have their own section in the email.

The emails still have all the juicy information you need but with a little extra spice to help you manage that morning email rush.

Shareable Export Templates 💫

Save your preferred export settings as a shareable template!

Do you have to perform multiple exports for different analyses?

Do you constantly have to remember and reapply the same data points each time?

Do you value maintaining consistent formatting when exporting data and working with colleagues?

We feel you! and that’s why we’ve built Export Templates!

  • Save and name your chosen data points as a template and share it across your subscription. Beauhurst will remember your chosen order and formatting so you won’t have to edit with each new export.


  • Choose to load your most recently used selection or a template created for you by colleagues.


This is the first in a series of solutions that’ll make exporting data out of Beauhurst and into other platforms quicker, less manual and ultimately easier for all users!
