What problem does it solve?
It helps assess whether an invention is likely novel and non-obvious for patent purposes by mapping claimed features to prior art disclosures.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Claim element extraction and preliminary claim drafting to define what the invention’s patent scope would cover.
- Absolute novelty (anticipation) testing of each preliminary claim element against each prior art reference to detect whether any single reference discloses the full combination.
- Obviousness (inventive step) combination analysis to evaluate whether a combination of references could render the claim obvious when a reasonable motivation to combine exists.
- Cross-jurisdiction output including US 35 USC 102/103, CN Article 22, and EP Article 54/56 style assessments.
- Cross-model examiner verification to stress-test novelty and obviousness conclusions using an examiner-style review prompt.
