Aistemos (LexisNexis Cipher)

Aistemos, primarily known for its flagship platform Cipher (now part of LexisNexis), is a pioneering force in the Intellectual Property (IP) space. The technical architecture leverages proprietary machine learning algorithms to automate the classification of patents into specific technology domains, solving the historic challenge of manual patent mapping. By utilizing the Universal Technology Taxonomy (UTT), Aistemos enables corporate IP departments and law firms to move beyond keyword searches into sophisticated semantic understanding. In the 2026 market, it stands as a critical component of the LexisNexis IP ecosystem, bridging the gap between legal data and executive-level business intelligence. The platform processes millions of global patent records to provide real-time competitive benchmarking, portfolio optimization, and risk mitigation. Its architecture is designed to handle high-dimensional data, allowing users to visualize technology landscapes with unprecedented granularity. As R&D cycles accelerate, Aistemos provides the necessary infrastructure for rapid technology scouting and IP due diligence in sectors ranging from semiconductors to clean energy.
