Lab Notebook Scanning


Protect your patents by scanning lab notebooks and converting the pages to digital images. By bringing these into digital format, you can easily keep track of who has accessed what lab notebooks, how long they were viewed for, any edits or changes that were made, as well as the ability to have multiple people access the same lab notebook at the same time.

Book scanning requires a unique approach and specialized book scanners designed to handle the curvature of text near the spine. A normal desktop flatbed scanner requires the user to press down on the spine to get a clean image, which could very easily damage the spine and bindings of the lab notebook.

MTM’s Conversion Services utilizes a book scanner which essentially works like a camera to take a photograph of the notebook. Special software is used that digitally straightens the curved part of the page where it dips into the center of the binding.
