Prior art, mapped to every claim element

See the prior art. Sharpen the claims.

Upload a patent, an application or a draft, or paste the claims and specification. Patly searches patents and the research literature, charts every reference against every claim element, and shows how each revision changes novelty while you type.

01
Search the terms of art
Queries built from the claims, their synonyms and the specification run across patent offices and scholarly indexes until new queries stop finding new references.
02
Chart each reference
Every reference is scored element by element, with the sentence that discloses each element and the pairs that together cover a claim.
03
Revise and re-score
Edit a claim or apply a drafted amendment, and the map, novelty scores and claim chart update at once.
