Fighting Information Poverty One App at a Time
Wayfinder Digital's Perspective on Patents, Inventions and Complex Data
Turn Data Into Knowledge
At Wayfinder Digital, we are passionate about what we do. We believe that information about inventors, inventions, innovation, patents — I3P — should be easy to find, easy to use and easy to understand.
Understanding innovation and invention is an important element in understanding what's happening in science, technology, research, product development, entrepreneurship, and business. It's important for economic development, investment and investors, talent scouts, and education.
Fight Information Poverty
Drowning in data but starved for meaningful information. This phenomenon — search fatigue, information overload, the digital data tsunami, data devastation — makes finding and understanding complex information daunting. Is it too much to ask to have information that has context, where you can understand what it means without having to hire an expert, where you can explore and discover connections, understand what you are seeing, analyze the information and use the information to do what you need to do?
Now, try understanding what's happening in one of the most complex universes of information — the patent sphere. Millions of patents, hundreds of millions of citations, inventors, examiners, claims, chemical, electrical, and mechanical disciplines with lots of convergence to add to the mix.
Our approach is to face information poverty head on by building tools that simplify the data, present it in interconnected and meaningful ways so you can create knowledge and gain insight on innovation and the people and companies making it happen.
Build Tools for Exploration and Discovery
Wayfinder Digital is fighting information poverty one application at a time. Our apps convert a sea of data into information so you can explore, discover, and analyze what's happening in the patent sphere. Wayfinder Digital builds useful, easy to understand, engaging applications that transform complex data into compelling and expressive information. Wayfinder Digital applications are tools for exploration, tools for discovery, tools for analysis so you can explore, discover, analyze and execute — information you can use.
