Patent Search AI Agent
Patent searches are thorough but painfully slow. IP professionals spend days trawling global databases for prior art and potential conflicts. This agent searches across patent databases and delivers structured results, cutting the search phase significantly.
About Patent Search Agent
The Problem
Before filing a patent or assessing freedom to operate, IP professionals need to search global patent databases thoroughly. This means trawling through Derwent Innovation, PatSnap, and other databases, reading through classification codes, and trying to find prior art that might be buried in a different jurisdiction or described using different terminology. It is painstaking work, and missing a relevant patent can have serious consequences for clients.
The volume of global patent filings keeps growing, which only makes the search task bigger each year.
How It Works
The agent searches across multiple patent databases simultaneously, using a combination of keyword, classification, and semantic search methods. It identifies potentially relevant patents, categorises them by relevance and risk level, and generates structured reports with summaries of each result. It also tracks patent application statuses and filing deadlines so nothing falls through the cracks.
It works with the patent platforms your team already uses, including Derwent Innovation, PatSnap, and LexisNexis TotalPatent.
Australian Context
For Australian IP firms, the agent covers both IP Australia filings and international databases, so you get a global picture without needing to run separate searches in each jurisdiction. This matters for clients who operate across multiple markets or who need to assess freedom to operate before entering a new region.
