Patents are legal documents that grant inventors exclusive rights for a limited time, in return for publicly disclosing their innovations. In the pharmaceutical industry, thousands of patents are published annually, making information about new drug candidates and potential applications available to the public. 

Hosted at EMBL-EBI, SureChEMBL provides access to over 160 million patents, annotated to highlight chemical and biomedical entities. With a suite of tools designed for exploring patent literature, SureChEMBL serves as a valuable resource for scientific data in drug discovery. This webinar will introduce the SureChEMBL web interface and demonstrate efficient ways to navigate patent data.
