Our take

Patenting a product or invention means ensuring that your idea is truly original. That’s easier said than done with manual research, accurate results being lost to a flood of jargon. On top of this, other AI search engines can experience a “black box”, which misunderstands the context of a search. NLPatent is an AI-based search and analytics platform that’s designed to truly understand the language of patents and innovation.

Used by top research universities, Am Law 100 firms and Fortune 500 companies, NLPatent’s platform is used to research patents and relevant parts of patents. With a variety of use cases, including investment research and invention applications, NLPatent is intuitive and simple to use

As AI usage in the law and IP world grows, it’s unsurprising that NLPatent quickly bagged seed funding in 2024. This will help it to grow its reach and expand its product range, a recent addition of which is a nifty patent monitoring tool.
