Why “Boliven”?
The name “Boliven” (pronounced like "olive", beginning with "b" and ending with "n") finds its roots in the history of Bologna and Venice and the fruitfulness of the olive tree. Bologna marks the site of the world’s first university, and Venice was the commercial and legal innovator of its day with the world’s first patent law. Since antiquity, the olive branch has symbolized the sharing of knowledge. At Boliven, our goal is to help our members develop fruitful new client, partnering, and career opportunities by connecting a diverse group of professionals who bridge the research, legal, and business communities.
What Members are Saying?
“Boliven Patents offers excellent value to leading intellectual property and business development professionals who need a professional-grade patent search and analytics product. Boliven’s customer service has been outstanding as well.” – Kenneth Barovsky, JD, PhD, Executive Director and Head of Intellectual Property, Halozyme Therapeutics Inc.
“I have found Boliven Patents to be an outstanding patent research and analytics tool. The product offers robust U.S. and international prior art and patent searching that one would expect from an excellent tool. For example, I have found the proximity searches with highlighted text to be extremely effective for nuanced evaluation of potential prior art. What is uncommon about this resource is the panoramic views Boliven Patents provides and the unique tools it provides to explore intellectual property space. I am happy to recommend it to other technology transfer or licensing professionals in industry or at universities who are looking to increase their productivity.” - David A. Lewin, PhD, Office of Cooperative Research, Yale University
