NL Patent

Company Introduction

NLPatent is an AI-powered patent research and intelligence platform purpose-built to address the longstanding limitations of traditional patent search. Frustrated by outdated tools that relied heavily on keyword syntax and often failed to capture the true substance of an invention, our founders set out to apply modern AI to the patent domain. The result is a platform powered by a proprietary large language model meticulously trained to recognize the nuances in patent data, giving it a deep, domain-specific understanding of IP.

Legal-Focused Offerings

NLPatent allows users to conduct high-quality searches five to ten times faster than traditional tools. Users can search using plain-language invention disclosures or existing patent numbers to surface conceptually relevant patent documents. Benchmarked across millions of searches, NLPatent consistently identifies key references that legacy systems miss. Its real-time AI-generated analysis and flexible explainability give IP and R&D teams both confidence and clarity in their results.

Monitor is a module designed to support proactive, context-aware patent tracking. Powered by the same proprietary LLM, Monitor enables users to stay ahead of key developments by following specific technologies, competitors, or even entire patent portfolios. Alerts are fully customizable and come with clear, AI-generated explanations, highlighting risks, opportunities, and strategic changes that matter to clients.

The Visualize module offers a complementary lens by organizing patent data into intuitive topic clusters and surfacing trends across assignees, jurisdictions, and filing activity. Whether analyzing a client portfolio or assessing a technology landscape, Visualize helps users quickly identify patterns, whitespace, and areas of concentrated innovation, enabling more strategic, data-driven IP decisions.

Innovation Impact

IP professionals share a common need: accurate, reliable patent intelligence. Whether using Search, Monitor, Visualize, or a combination of all three, NLPatent delivers high-quality results across a broad spectrum of use cases, including patentability, invalidity, freedom to operate, due diligence, claim scoping, licensing, and strategic business development. Already trusted by Fortune 500 companies and Am Law 100 firms, NLPatent has been ranked among the top three patent tools today. By enabling faster, more accurate research, NLPatent helps IP and R&D teams deliver higher-quality work, enabling more informed decision making and strategic guidance.
