prior-art-search

You can automate prior art search by defining inventive concepts and technical features to query patent databases like Google Patents and Espacenet, alongside academic sources like Google Scholar and arXiv. This identifies relevant references and generates a markdown report of search findings.

A preliminary freedom-to-operate assessment evaluates the overlap risk and relationship of found prior art references against your invention's technical features. It helps identify potential intellectual property conflicts before you file a patent application.

To build a patent search strategy, you identify core inventive concepts and technical problems, which are then mapped to relevant IPC and CPC classes. This classification targets specific technological areas for searching patents and academic papers.

Yes, you can search Google Patents and arXiv simultaneously along with Espacenet, Google Scholar, and Semantic Scholar. The search aggregates relevant patents and academic papers based on your invention's defined technical features.

The best way to generate a prior art search report is to document the search strategy, classify found references by relevance and overlap risk, and compile the findings. This process outputs a detailed markdown report for your patent filing preparation.
