One of the most interesting (and coolest!) products we’re showing at ABA TECHSHOW is our new eReader app – Thomson Reuters ProView.
Since launching last year, we’ve added a Web browser version in addition to the original iPad app. ProView now has links to WestlawNext to check citations, and new tools to help organize your ProView library.
ProView is the first eReader built from the ground up for professionals with features such as full-text search, content updating, and transferable notes and annotations.
A lot of people at TECHSHOW, while enjoying a chance for a hands-on demo, are also asking when ProView will add other platforms, such as Android tablets, as well as additional content – both legal and non-legal.
All I can say is: stay tuned! ProView is growing quickly on all fronts, including content, platforms and markets, and some exciting announcements are coming soon.

In all corners of the earth, executives, policy makers, government officials, politicians, teachers and entrepreneurs are talking about their hope for “innovation.” The topic is of equal interest to Thomson Reuters, and after tracking corporate and industry-specific innovation activity for several years we recently released two free reports that showcase twelve technology areas and profile their innovation activity as measured through patent analysis.
Two key findings from the report include:

Recently Anne Ellis, senior director, Librarian Relations, spoke to a group of law librarians who are part of a pilot group testing the new Thomson Reuters ProView eReader. Her key take-aways on the evolution of technology in the law library, and library management, are highlighted in a recent Legal Rebels post at ABA.com.
Whether conducting a spot check of court rules with ProView, verifying a case on an iPhone, or consulting secondary source materials related to a case on an iPad, technology continues to offer research and management time savings. And these law librarians embrace new technology to enable education, research and efficiency for the students and the attorneys they support.

By tracking published patent applications, examining real-world trademark and copyright infringement issues and comparing the government policies and long-term innovation strategies of China to other world leaders, new reports from Thomson Reuters suggest that although China leads the world in patent and trademark filings, its status as a global player still faces challenges.
“Intellectual property is the bridge that connects innovation with economic growth,” said David Brown, president of the IP Solutions business of Thomson Reuters. “We’ve taken on this research as a means of identifying the point where innovation and creativity meet marketability, thus setting the stage for sustained economic development. By closely examining a wide variety of metrics, we can see China is clearly on that path, but there are significant milestones yet to be attained.”
Among the key findings detailed in the free Thomson Reuters China reports on patent and trademark trends:
The research findings are available in two new reports from the IP Solutions business of Thomson Reuters. Invented in China assesses total patent volumes and highlights growing areas of innovation activity in China. Special Report: Trademarks in China tracks trends in trademark activity in China over the last 20 years and analyzes trademark activities of the world’s leading brands.
