Patlytics

What Patlytics gets right is the thing most patent AI gets wrong: it does not ask you to trust an answer. Claim charts, invalidity contentions and FTO flags are pin-cited to the underlying reference — a teardown page, a datasheet section, an FCC filing, a paragraph in a prior art patent — so the reviewer's job becomes verification rather than reconstruction. In litigation and prosecution, that is the difference between a tool you can bill on and a tool you have to double-check from scratch. The module map is unusually wide for a single platform. Infringement detection crawls public sources for evidence of use and produces claim charts built on auto-generated claim construction. Invalidity searches both patent and NPL prior art, builds contention-style charts across multiple references, and handles obviousness combinations with motivations to combine plus written description and enablement checks. FTO starts from your own product materials, screens hundreds of potentially relevant patents and applications at once, and flags launch risk by jurisdiction. SEP work produces citation-backed essentiality charts against indexed standards materials covering cellular, Wi-Fi, video and audio coding, and memory families. Claim construction is prosecution-history aware and feeds the infringement and invalidity modules downstream. On the drafting side, applications are generated from an invention disclosure in your own templates and style with line-by-line agentic editing you approve. The Agent launch in August 2026 is the structural change. Rather than a chat box bolted onto a search index, Agent is a reasoning layer over the 200+ Skills — it ranks assets, refines arguments, and packages finished work, so Portfolio Analysis returns a ranked shortlist (the demo case surfaces the 12 strongest reads against a named competitor's product line) instead of a flat list. Patent & NPL Search is semantic and date-bounded, and any hit can be sent straight into invalidity, IDF or drafting without re-uploading context. Where it fits: Am Law 100 IP groups, Fortune 500 corporate IP departments, and litigation teams running repeated, high-volume chart and analysis work where a citation trail is mandatory. The European patent intelligence with regional hosting makes it usable for multi-jurisdiction portfolios, and My Drive centralizes files and workflows in one place. Where it does not: solo practitioners and small firms working to a fixed budget, teams that only need a prior art search and nothing downstream, and non-IP professionals who want patent data without legal analysis. The commercial model is the real constraint — pricing is by quote, so there is no published rate card to plan against, and the ROI case is built on hours and margin recovered at volume, which is a weak case if you file a handful of applications a year. A Relativity integration is listed but still in waitlist, so litigation teams should not assume it is live in their stack today. Treat the reported
