SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Assess whether an invention is novel and non-obvious relative to published prior art to guide early-stage patent decisions and risk assessment.

Core Features & Use Cases

Prior-art screening: Compare the invention against published references to identify novelty gaps.
Claim draft support: Generate risk signals and suggested claim elements for 2-3 independent claims.
Decision support: Assist decision-makers in patent strategy based on patentability assessment.

Quick Start

Provide a concise invention description and any known prior-art references to initiate the patentability check.

FAQPage Schema

How do I check if my invention is novel against prior art?▼

To check if an invention is novel against prior art, compare the invention's core elements against published references to identify novelty gaps using established patent standards. This screening process highlights the distinguishing features required for patentability.

What is the best way to assess patent obviousness for early-stage proposals?▼

Assessing patent obviousness for early-stage proposals involves applying a structured anticipation and obviousness analysis against public prior art. This evaluation determines whether the invention's differences represent non-obvious improvements over existing technologies.

Can I generate independent claim suggestions during a patentability screening?▼

Yes, you can generate independent claim suggestions during patentability screening by analyzing identified novelty gaps. The process produces risk signals and suggested claim elements for structuring 2-3 independent claims to protect the invention.

How do I start a prior-art screening process for a new technology?▼

Start a prior-art screening process by providing a concise invention description alongside any known prior-art references. The analysis then loads relevant patent references to evaluate the invention's novelty and non-obviousness across technologies.

Does this patent analysis support freedom-to-operate checks across different technologies?▼

Yes, this patent analysis supports freedom-to-operate checks across different technologies. It applies structured anticipation and obviousness analysis to public prior art, assisting decision-makers in early-stage patent risk assessment and strategy.
