Description ClearForest is a mining company, but it doesn't cut down any trees or dig any holes. Text mining is its game. The company's software tools are used by intelligence agencies, publishers, and other businesses to find and analyze specific text passages within unorganized content and data. ClearForest's technology includes analytics systems designed specifically for text analysis and modules that provide industry-specific applications for capital and durable goods manufacturers, content providers, government agencies and intelligence departments, and intellectual property professionals. The company was acquired by Reuters (now part of Thomson Reuters) in April 2007.
