PatSnap, the Intellectual Property Analytics company backed by Sequoia and used by innovative companies to accelerate their R&D, has announced the launch of its first USA office in Los Angeles. The new office will provide enhanced, dedicated support to PatSnap’s rapidly growing customer base in the USA.

PatSnap has brought together the world’s largest IP dataset, and by adding licensing and litigation data, economic data, patent valuation, image and chemical formula search, and trademark recognition, it provides the world’s most innovative enterprises, public bodies and academic institutions with a new, intuitive source of information for use during research.

The company has chosen Los Angeles as its first [North American](https://www.financedigest.com/north-american-market-for-veterinary-respiratory-ventilators-to-hold-lions-share-owing-to-presence-of-major-key-players-fact-mr-report.html "North American Market for Veterinary Respiratory Ventilators to Hold Lion’s Share Owing to Presence of Major Key Players: Fact.MR Report") outpost, over the well-trodden path to Silicon Valley. Amir Achourie, one of PatSnap’s London office founders, will lead PatSnap’s USA presence as Head of Sales Americas.

On the decision to launch the USA office, Amir said: “60% of our customers are now based in the USA – so the question probably shouldn’t be ‘why are we opening the USA office?’ but ‘why has it taken so long?’. The [truth is our amazing customer success team](https://www.financedigest.com/are-your-it-team-telling-you-the-whole-truth.html "Are your IT team telling you the whole truth?"), and our UK sales operations have done such a brilliant job of establishing PatSnap in the USA that until now it wasn’t necessary. Recently we reached a [tipping point](https://www.financedigest.com/are-we-at-a-digitise-or-die-tipping-point-in-the-telco-space.html "Are we at a ‘digitise or die’ tipping point in the telco space?") where over 50% of our customers were based in the USA, and more and more of them are Enterprise level customers. We had to be on the ground to support them.”

On choosing Los Angeles (also known as Silicon Beach), over the world-renowned technology hub of Silicon Valley, Amir said: “L.A has always been a creative hub. It has great universities, and Mayor Garcetti is working hard to create a supportive [environment for fast-growing companies](https://www.financedigest.com/eu-plans-for-company-human-rights-environment-checks-face-new-hurdle.html "EU plans for company human rights, environment checks face new hurdle") to thrive in. It was a surprisingly easy choice.”

PatSnap now has over 3000 [customers globally](https://www.financedigest.com/soaring-airline-customer-complaints-push-global-legislators-to-act.html "Soaring airline customer complaints push global legislators to act"), and is onboarding new customers at a rate of 100 a month.
