Clarivate Plc

A global information services and analytics company, Clarivate supplies the data, software, and research tools that scientists, patent lawyers, and universities rely on — its well-known products include the Web of Science research database and the Derwent World Patents Index. The company was born in 2016 when the Intellectual Property & Science business of Thomson Reuters was carved out and renamed "Clarivate," chosen to suggest clarity and insight. A fun thread: the Derwent patent index began in 1950s London when a researcher named Monty Hyams, frustrated by how hard patents were to read, started hand-writing short summaries of them — a practice that grew into one of the world's most trusted patent databases.
