IPqwery provides a complete picture of the IP holdings of any company. Get an overview of the technologies a company possesses (patents), its brands (trademarks), its inventors, and how it scores for being innovative (IP Activity).
Patent and Trademark data are pulled directly from the company’s IP profile and listed on their Crunchbase profile page. For example, if you were on Google's Crunchbase profile, you would see Google’s intellectual property information listed under the IPqwery section of the profile.
