Hoover is the search engine for the knowledge graph.
One canonical profile for every company. Ask any complex question and get a ranked, evidence-backed shortlist.
Company intelligence breaks on identity.
One firm shows up as a parent, a dozen subsidiaries, an IP-holding arm, and a pile of misspelled patent assignees. Until that's resolved, every search is counting the same company four times and missing it twice.
Hoover resolves the signals — patents, products, publications, clinical trials, FDA clearances — to the companies behind them, and holds each as a single canonical profile carrying that company's expertise, capabilities, and technologies. Search runs against the resolved graph, not a keyword index, so a question phrased in your terms finds companies described in theirs.
Every question runs the same way.
Read the input — a requirement, a solicitation, a patent portfolio, a plain question. Extract what's actually being asked. Search every canonical profile in the graph. Judge relevance, rank, and return a shortlist with a justification memo for each company.
Coverage self-expands: firms the system doesn't yet know are surfaced, resolved, and onboarded, so the next search starts from a bigger universe.

Cross-linked on one profile.
An asset that is slow and costly to assemble, and compounds as each new source is added.
Hoover Search is the company layer under everything else.
It's the resolution engine that maps noisy patent assignees to real ultimate owners, and the company intelligence beneath every Technology Landscape Report. A production system powering multiple products, not a one-off analysis.
Patentability and freedom-to-operate come from Patent Assessment.
Patent Assessment →Commissioned depth comes from a Technology Landscape Report.
Landscape Reports →Your requirements stay yours.
We never train our model on what you submit. Solicitations, requirement documents, and portfolios you search against are never shared between customers, and you may delete them on demand.
How we handle your data →Ask it something hard.
Bring a requirement, a portfolio, or a question you can't answer with a keyword search — and see the shortlist with the reasoning behind every name on it.
