The power of AI. The precision of classic patent research. The depth of a professional patent database.

The solution combines AI-supported and classic patent research, supports project-based work and enables the rapid analysis of even very large patent quantities - including chat with up to 200,000 documents. Complex property rights are evaluated in depth, all results are documented in a structured manner and remain traceable in the long term.

Research projects

Research based on projects. Save results permanently.

Research is organized in clearly structured projects. History, evaluations and results remain centrally stored in one place and can be traced at any time. Both older searches and their results can be efficiently retrieved and continued.
Multiple projects can be edited or shared in parallel. This means that different topics, technologies or questions remain clearly separated from each other.

overview

Who is the research solution intended for?

For professional researchers, patent analysts, law firms, patent and IP departments as well as research and development departments

Researchers, patent analysts and IP experts

The solution combines classic patent research with powerful AI: structured searches via classes, keywords and competitors are supplemented by AI-supported research, analysis and comparison. Relevant intellectual property rights are identified more quickly, similar patents are compared in a well-founded manner and the assessment and analysis of complex claim structures are specifically supported by AI. All results are documented in an audit-proof manner and remain traceable at all times.

  • Combination of classic and AI-supported Research and Analysis
  • Interactive analysis and exploration of large amounts of patents via chat – with up to 200,000 documents
  • AI-powered comparison of similar patents to support informed assessments
  • Support in analyzing Complex claim Structures using AI
  • Audit-proof documentation of all analysis and decision-making bases

Research & Development (R&D)

The solution enables simple yet complete patent searches and creates clarity for technical decisions. The combination of classic and neural search quickly makes relevant technologies, existing solutions and competitor activities visible. In this way, duplicate developments can be avoided, innovation potential can be identified at an early stage and well-founded decisions can be made for your own product development - while at the same time structured and comprehensible documentation of all results.

  • Simple and complete patent search through a combination of classic search and AI support
  • Quickly identify relevant technologies, trends and competitive activities
  • Avoidance of duplicate developments through a transparent view of existing solutions
  • Interactive analysis of large amounts of patents via chat – with up to 200,000 documents
  • Comprehensible preparation of complex content for well-founded development decisions
  • Structured and comprehensible documentation of all results

The Difference to classic Research

Many research tools provide pure result lists. Assessments, analyzes and project documentation are carried out externally or do not remain structured and understandable.

The Research solution Combines Research, analysis And documentation in One System. Hybrid search Strategies Combine aI-powered analysis With boolean search, enabling both precise and exploratory Research.

Efficient patent search

Combines classic search strategies with AI-supported research to identify relevant patents precisely and quickly. Even complex inquiries can be structured and evaluated efficiently.

Classic Research

Professional research options with Boolean search strategies across patent fields such as applicants, classes, citations and full text. Your own information such as comments and evaluations can be specifically included. Building blocks and bracket logic enable the construction of complex and precise search queries.

Classic full-text index

Powerful, weekly updated full-text index for precise research. Supports complex search strategies such as word spacing, combined left and right truncation, boost operators, regular expressions and much more.

AI patent database

Neural vector search over several billion vectors enables AI research based on both terms and context. The database is updated weekly and continually expanded.

Hybrid research

Combination of classic, Boolean search and AI-supported research for precise and exploratory results.

Find Similar patents

Based on a patent, technically similar property rights are automatically identified. Neural research analyzes content based on context and terms and finds relevant documents even without identical wording.

Quick understanding of technical content

Captures the essential content of patents quickly and in a structured manner. AI-supported preparation and visual support make it easier to understand even complex technical relationships.

Quick relevance check

AI-powered Summaries capture the essential Content of A patent and enable quick Assessment of Relevance.

Understandable Demands

Patent claims are structured and prepared in an understandable way so that complex content can be grasped more quickly.

Reference symbol analysis

Reference symbols from drawings are extracted in a structured manner and support the understanding of technical relationships.

Highlighting

Relevant terms are highlighted automatically or defined and enable quick orientation in terms of content.

Analysis, evaluation and further processing

Supports the systematic evaluation of large amounts of hits as well as the well-founded comparison and evaluation of patents. Results are documented in a structured manner and can be further processed efficiently.

Analysis of result lists

Even large Result lists can be analyzed ad hoc and filtered Flexibly - both using Classic methods and AI-supported.

AI-powered Ranking

Hit lists are prioritized and presented in a structured manner based on technical similarity and relevance.

AI-supported patent comparison

Similar patents are compared to efficiently identify differences and similarities.

AI-powered feature analysis and search support

Technical features are automatically recorded and structured. From this, suitable keywords including synonyms are derived and complete classic search queries are automatically created for the full-text index.

Project-based Work

Research is organized in the project context. Results, reviews and search histories remain structured, documented and available at all times in a comprehensible manner.

High page speed

Even large amounts of hits can be viewed efficiently. Relevant documents can be quickly checked and classified.

IP7 Innovator Dashboard

AI Innovator - Chat for large result lists

Large lists of results can be specifically analyzed in seconds using an integrated chat function. Technical questions can be applied directly to the hits - the answers are structured in plain text and with specific patent references.

Reporting and result export
WORD, EXCEL and XML Export

Reporting and result export

Hit lists can be exported in a structured and clear manner into various formats such as Word or Excel. Your own comments and evaluations are fully integrated and enable them to be passed on to third parties in a comprehensible manner.
Individual templates can be stored for the output so that reports can be created consistently, standardized and adapted to specific requirements.

Security

All data remains under your own control - even with AI-supported analyses. All searches and processing take place exclusively on IP7's own servers. Entered content, search queries and analysis results do not leave the protected system environment at any time.

All research functions, especially the AI ​​functions, are fully integrated into the infrastructure and work without external services or data sharing. The only exception is the AI ​​analysis of publicly available patent texts, in which no confidential or user-specific Content is processed or passed on.

This ensures that sensitive information remains protected at all times and at the same time the advantages of modern AI technologies can be used - in accordance with current data protection and compliance requirements.
