LexisNexis launches new Sustainable Innovation Measurement framework enabling organizations globally to objectively track and report on innovation's contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Industry-first alignment of patent data to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals framework revolutionizes sustainable innovation analysis.

NEW YORK,Oct. 12,2021 --LexisNexis® Legal & Professional is pleased to announce the launch of an innovative extension to its leading Intellectual Property analytics solution,LexisNexis® PatentSight®,that makes sustainable-focused innovation identifiable,searchable,and trackable through mapping the global patent system to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). This new,objective measure gives organizations globally an unparalleled view into the global innovation landscape while revealing opportunities in sustainable technology.

As organizations face growing pressure to take sustainability aspects into account across strategic,financial and operational decision making,sustainability is emerging as a new major value indicator. Through PatentSight®,global patent data can be harnessed to provide an important new source to objectively measure and track innovation's contribution to global sustainability.

By mapping advancements in science and technology as expressed through patentable innovation against the UN SDGs (identified as distinct fields fundamental to global prosperity and largely aligned to the ESG agenda),the PatentSight analytics platform provides unprecedented insight into sustainable innovation on a global basis,allowing users to analyze innovation strength across distinct fields of sustainability. This unique proposition enables patent and non-patent experts alike to easily access their field of interest and gain valuable insight,leading to better decision making and reporting on sustainability topics,whether to inform Research & Development (R&D),support investment strategies,enable effective evaluation,or support corporate communication to educate employees,consumers and shareholders.

LexisNexis® PatentSight® makes sustainable-focused innovation identifiable,and trackable through mapping the global patent system to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
