How it works

Patlytics brings concept-level, AI-native patent search into your assistant: semantic, not keyword-based. Describe an invention in plain prose and get the most relevant patents, look up any patent's claims, search the scientific literature, and pull your own organization's saved patents, all through structured, predictable tools (not a black box). The five tools are read-only: semantic patent search (optionally anchored to a reference patent), patent lookup (bibliographic data and full claims), non-patent literature search (via OpenAlex), and listings of your organization's private portfolios and vault. Search is semantic, so a richer description (how an invention works, the problem it solves, its components) returns better results. Access is for existing Patlytics users: each member signs in with their own account (OAuth), and results are scoped to their organization. Deeper work like freedom-to-operate opinions, infringement and invalidity claim charts, and patent drafting runs in the Patlytics web app, linked from every result.

What else can you do?

  • Map similar inventions

    Patlytics Search for patents similar to [invention description, components, and problem solved]. Compare the most relevant results, explain their technical overlap, and identify patents whose claims warrant review.

  • Review a patent's claims

    Patlytics Retrieve [patent publication number] and summarize its independent claims. Map the stated components and relationships, highlight terms needing interpretation, and provide the patent's bibliographic details.

  • Find supporting technical literature

    Patlytics Search non-patent literature on [technical concept]. Rank the most relevant papers, explain how each relates to the invention, and flag dates and unanswered technical questions for further review.
