How it works

Follow one claim limitation through the evidence pipeline.

Every engagement is deterministic: each limitation is decomposed, mapped to source, checked against figures, and resolved into family and citation context — nothing is summarized away.

Claim 1 · limitation [c]

“…a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to generate a verifiable, source-linked evidence map.”

  1. 01

    Decompose the limitation

    Independent and dependent claims are broken into individual limitations — the atomic units a reference must disclose.

  2. 02

    Map to the source passage

    Each limitation is tied to the exact passage that discloses it — quoted, paragraph-cited, and linkable back to the reference.

  3. 03

    Search figures & captions

    Drawings and their captions are searched and matched, so disclosures that live in figures are never missed.

  4. 04

    Resolve family & citations

    References resolve into their patent families and forward/backward citation network, giving counsel the full context behind every hit.

Why a result is here, not just that one is.

The difference is whether the reviewer can inspect the linkage from claim language to source text.

Enhance

Search Report Enhancement

Bring your existing search firm's static report. We add a deterministic, passage-linked evidence layer on top of it — your relationships stay; the evidence becomes inspectable.

Discover

White-space opportunity review

Separate crowded claim territory from areas that may deserve business and counsel review.

The deliverable

Evidence you can open, not a summary you have to trust.

The same mapping grammar expands into a counsel-reviewable deliverable: limitation, source passage, public record locator, and the specific phrase that supports relevance.

Security & confidentiality

Built for confidential IP work.

Your inventions, claims, and product roadmap stay protected at every step — the exposure in-house teams worry about most is engineered out, not promised away.

  • Strict NDA and confidentiality terms before any sensitive material is exchanged
  • Data isolation by design — your matter is never commingled
  • US-based infrastructure
  • Your data is never used to train third-party AI models

Independent attestations — SOC 2, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001 — pursued as your engagement requires.

Start with the patent question in front of you.

Every engagement begins with a defined question and returns a source-linked evidence map your counsel can verify. Tell us the scope; we'll tell you what's findable.
