PatSnap is one of the earlier web companies to come out from the fledgling Singapore startup scene. Founded in October 2007 and funded by NUS Enterprise, they provide a set of online or in-house patent search and analytic services that enable their users to translate their IP information, which in turn provides added insight and actual value to their customers. Their database of patents spans US, EP, WIPO/PCT and China and are freshly updated on a weekly basis. Their future plans include covering more Asian countries and translating their content into multiple languages. While they are primarily based out of Singapore, they have offices in United States, China and Malaysia. They are currently in the process of looking for talented people to join their team.Backend/Infrastructure Engineer
