PatSeer

Start your investigation by telling PatSeer what you’re looking for in plain language. The system suggests related concepts, CPC/IPC classes, and synonyms as you type, so you can shape a robust strategy fast. Run the search, then narrow results by authority, legal status, priority year, assignee, or claim length. Use topic clusters to see where results concentrate, jump into the strongest clusters, and open any record with highlighted claims and key passages extracted for quick scanning. Trace backward and forward citations to uncover foundational work or emerging follow‑ons. When you’re ready to brief stakeholders, generate instant summaries of the most relevant families, export clean spreadsheets, or pin highlights directly inside a shared project.

To monitor competitors and tech spaces, build a living landscape. Save your queries and filters, set weekly or real‑time alerts, and let dashboards refresh automatically. Track new grants, office actions, and status changes across prioritized families. Create watchlists for companies, inventors, or technology codes, and route updates to the right teammates. Visualize movement with trend charts, heat maps, and filing velocity views, then annotate insights where they occur—on the record. Use machine translation and family normalization to compare equivalents side by side, and deduplicate similar documents so counts reflect true coverage rather than noise. more
