Find stronger prior art, faster
Traditional prior art searching can take days or weeks, especially when reviewing both patent literature and non-patent literature.
DeepIP automates retrieval across global databases, maps product or claim features to relevant text, and identifies high-value art that aligns directly with specific limitations—making it easier to surface anticipatory references and to assemble compelling combinations quickly and defensibly.
Spend time on strategy, not building claim charts
Surface high-value prior art across patents and non-patent literature, with automated claim charting that helps you focus on the evidence that matters.
Cover more ground in less time, with fewer blind spots.

FAQs
An invalidity search identifies prior art that can be used to challenge the validity of a patent’s claims under §102 (anticipation) or §103 (obviousness). Strong invalidity grounds rely on finding relevant prior art, connecting it to specific claim limitations, and building persuasive combinations with clear motivation to combine. This process helps litigators, in-house teams, and patent professionals weaken or invalidate patents during disputes, PTAB proceedings, or licensing negotiations.
DeepIP automatically generates potential §103 combinations by aligning claim features with evidence from multiple references. The platform scores each combination and surfaces the strongest linkages, providing context that helps practitioners articulate motivation-to-combine arguments. This dramatically reduces the time spent manually crafting combos and strengthens the overall validity challenge strategy.
Corporate IP teams often lack the time or bandwidth to conduct deep invalidity research when facing litigation threats or negotiating licenses. DeepIP enables them to quickly uncover strong prior art, evaluate invalidity positions internally, and engage external counsel with a clearer strategy. This reduces reliance on outside firms, accelerates decision-making, and gives in-house teams more control during high-stakes situations.
Large firms managing complex matters benefit from DeepIP’s ability to streamline prior art discovery, combo generation, and chronology building. By automating tedious research steps and providing transparent evidence mapping, the platform helps distributed teams deliver faster, more consistent invalidity analyses—improving profitability on fixed-fee work and enabling litigators to focus on argumentation rather than document triage.
Absolutely. DeepIP’s transparent evidence links, feature-to-text mapping, and defensible scoring ensure that smaller practices can confidently use AI to accelerate their invalidity work without compromising quality. Solo practitioners and boutique firms can cover more ground in less time, produce stronger invalidity grounds, and increase capacity without hiring additional staff.
