Run comprehensive patent search across worldwide databases and non-patent literature, with precise filtering by jurisdiction, CPC/IPC classifications, assignees, and publication details, enabling focused patent and prior art review across 100+ jurisdictions
The best AI prior art search tools combine broad database coverage with contextual, not just keyword-based, matching. IP Author searches worldwide patent and non-patent literature, filters by jurisdiction and classification, and returns similarity scores and novelty summaries so you can assess risk and positioning early in the process.
Automated prior art search tools range from basic keyword search engines to AI-powered platforms that understand context and technical meaning. IP Author is built for the latter, combining AI-assisted search across patent and non-patent literature with filtering by jurisdiction, classification, assignee, and publication details across 100+ jurisdictions.
In internal testing against expert human patent searchers across 20 searches, IP Author matched or exceeded the quality of expert human search results in 19 out of 20 cases, missing relevant prior art in only one. It supports this with similarity scores and novelty summaries that highlight overlaps and differences between an invention and cited references, helping you assess relevance quickly while still allowing full manual review of every result.
Yes. IP Author connects prior art search directly to your drafting and prosecution workflow. Once relevant references are identified, you can review highlighted passages, compare disclosures side by side, and carry that context forward into drafting or response preparation, rather than working across separate, disconnected tools.
AI speeds up prior art search by scanning large volumes of patent and non-patent literature at once and surfacing contextually relevant results, rather than relying only on exact keyword matches. A client using IP Author reported reducing search time from 4 to 6 hours down to 2 to 3 minutes, while still returning similarity scoring and novelty summaries for full manual review.
IP Author protects sensitive patent information with enterprise-grade security. Your data is never used for model training and remains fully isolated. We offer Zero Data Retention options and strict confidentiality controls to support corporate IP teams and law firms.
