Patent Prior-Art Search Agent

Research

Searches for prior art that could affect the novelty of a described invention.

What this agent does

Given a plain-language description of an invention, searches for existing patents and publications that could count as prior art, returning each match with its relevance. A fast, affordable first pass before commissioning a formal patentability opinion — not a substitute for one.
