Patents in PitchBook

PitchBook provides patent data in its company profiles, including number and status of patents; backwards and forwards citations; and type of technology by Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) section, class, and subclass. More information on individual patents is also available, including filing documents, patent publication ID, inventor name, patent family ID, and CPC code numbers/descriptions.
