Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue Revenues
We derive revenue through subscriptions to our product offerings, re-occurring contracts in our IP segment, and transactional
sales that are typically quoted on a product, data set, or project basis.
Subscription-based revenues are recurring revenues that we typically earn under annual contracts, pursuant to which
we license the right to use our products to our customers or provide maintenance services over a contractual term. We
invoice and collect the subscription fee at the beginning of the subscription period. For multi-year agreements, we
generally invoice customers annually at the beginning of each annual coverage period. Cash received or receivable in
advance of completing the performance obligations is included in deferred revenue. We recognize subscription
revenue ratably over the contract term as the access or service is provided.
Re-occurring revenues are derived solely from the patent and trademark renewal services provided by our IP
segment. Our services help customers maintain and protect their patents and trademarks in multiple jurisdictions
around the world. Because of the re-occurring nature of the patent and trademark lifecycle, our customers engage us on
a regular basis to ensure their intellectual property rights remain protected. These contracts typically include evergreen
clauses or are multi-year agreements. We invoice and recognize revenue upon delivery of the service.
Transactional revenues are earned for specific deliverables that are typically quoted on a product, data set, or project
basis. Transactional revenues include content sales (including single-document and aggregated collection sales),
consulting engagements, and other professional services such as software implementation services. We typically
invoice and record revenue for this revenue stream upon delivery of the product, data set, project, or related
performance obligations.

at the beginning of the period, primarily consisting of subscription revenues recognized ratably over the contractual term.
Our remaining performance obligations are included in the current or non-current portion of deferred revenues on the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The majority of these obligations relate to customer contracts where we license the
right to use our products or provide maintenance services over a contractual term, generally one year or less.
