How PatentSignal Works

1

Enter Patent Number

Simply enter any US patent number (e.g., US7149534B2) or upload a patent document. Our system connects to the USPTO Open Data Portal to fetch the latest official patent data.

• Official USPTO data with full metadata
• Complete specification text with paragraph numbers
• Structured claims with dependencies
• Prosecution history and office actions

2

AI Pre-Processing

Our proprietary AI system processes the patent through intelligent pre-processing that extracts technical knowledge and creates a structured "Patent Packet" data model.

• Definition Extraction: AI identifies and extracts technical definitions from the specification
• Topic Identification: Discovers key technical topics (e.g., "LPWAN", "Signal Processing")
• Paragraph Tagging: Tags each paragraph with relevant topics for precise retrieval
• Vector Embeddings: Creates semantic embeddings for intelligent search

This is the "secret sauce" that makes PatentSignal different from simple keyword search tools.

3

Topic-Based Analysis

Instead of simple keyword matching, PatentSignal uses topic-based RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) to analyze the patent comprehensively.

• Iterative Topic Analysis: Systematically analyzes each technical topic
• Context-Aware Retrieval: Retrieves relevant paragraphs based on topic tags
• Comprehensive Coverage: Ensures all technical areas are analyzed
• Citation-Backed Insights: Every recommendation includes paragraph references
