Assessment status

Each assessment names the documents reviewed, shows where each claim feature is disclosed, and states what remains unresolved. Below is an excerpt from the public demonstration report, built on synthetic evidence so the format can be inspected openly.

Novelty

Recorded finding

Read the recorded single-document finding and its evidence qualifications.

Inventive step

See reasoned assessment

See the inventive-step chapter for the recorded routes, completion status and unresolved requirements.

Proposed claim changes

Review the proposed wording

The assessed source claim remains the basis. Proposed changes and their support are identified separately in Proposed claim changes.

How it works

From claim to a documented decision

  1. Provide the source and claim

    Upload the original source document or retrieve a published patent record. Confirm the claim and recorded filing or priority date. You can add your own prior-art documents during document review.

  2. Review the evidence

    You approve the feature model, the search terms and the document set before analysis runs, and can edit the output at each of the six review gates.

  3. Receive the assessment

    Novelty and inventive step, assessed separately with the evidence beside each finding, plus claim suggestions with their support. Delivered on the web and as a PDF.

Who uses it

A common basis for professional judgement

Technology transfer

University TTOs

Screen researcher disclosures on one consistent, documented basis before choosing which cases go to outside counsel.

In-house IP

IP-heavy organisations

Give every disclosure the same documented first read before it enters the docket.

Practitioners

Patent attorneys and consultants

Start from a per-feature novelty matrix, inventive-step routes and claim suggestions with citations, instead of a blank page.

Scope

Evidence with a clear scope

Sources

  • EPO patent data
  • Google Patents public data, with source links
  • Crossref scholarly and technical literature
  • Documents you add to the case, such as product literature or standards

Limitations

  • General web search is not a source.
  • Queries run in English. Native Chinese, Japanese and Korean search is optional and off by default.
  • Findings are screening findings for professional review, not a legal opinion or a grant prediction.
