Frequently Asked Questions

No, AI augments rather than replaces patent attorneys. While AI excels at rapid data processing and pattern recognition, patent attorneys provide crucial strategic insight, legal interpretation, and client counseling that AI cannot replicate. AI tools like Patgrid enhance attorney efficiency by automating time-consuming research tasks, allowing attorneys to focus on high-value analysis and strategy development.

Patgrid uses advanced multilingual Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze patents in 72+ languages. Our system automatically translates and processes non-English patents, maintaining semantic understanding across languages. This ensures comprehensive global patent coverage without language barriers, while providing results in English for consistency.

AI patent analysis achieves higher accuracy through semantic understanding rather than simple keyword matching. Our system comprehends technical concepts and relationships, identifies similar innovations even when described with different terminology, and processes vast amounts of data without human bias or fatigue. Each analysis includes direct source document quotes for verification.

Our AI uses a combination of semantic search and specialized language models to understand the technical essence of inventions. It analyzes patent claims at a conceptual level, identifying relevant prior art even when different terminology is used to describe similar technical solutions. This approach catches relevant references that keyword-based searches might miss.

Patgrid analyzes patents from all major patent offices including USPTO, EPO, WIPO, JPO, and CNIPA, covering over 160 million patent documents. We also include scientific literature and technical publications to provide comprehensive coverage of prior art.

Most analyses are completed within 24-48 hours. The AI processes thousands of patents and reasons for everything step by step. For urgent requests, we offer priority processing that can deliver results within 12 hours.

Results are delivered as interactive HTML reports featuring heat maps, detailed analysis summaries, and direct quotes from relevant patents. All findings include links to original source documents for verification. Reports can be easily shared with team members and exported for inclusion in legal documents.

No. Patgrid provides AI-powered patent analysis tools for research purposes only. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. All analyses should be reviewed by qualified patent attorneys or intellectual property professionals before making any decisions. Use of our services does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Patgrid's AI analysis should be used as a research and screening tool to support, not replace, professional legal judgment. Our reports provide comprehensive data and insights, but all findings should be validated and interpreted by qualified IP professionals who can provide proper legal advice based on your specific situation.

All Patgrid analyses should be reviewed by qualified patent attorneys or intellectual property professionals who can provide proper legal interpretation and advice. While our AI provides powerful insights, only licensed professionals can offer legal opinions and strategic guidance for your specific situation.
