Prior-art search support
Prior-art search support that leaves a review trail.
Inspect a sample prior-art report, see cited references and open limits, then start online paid access when the review path fits your matter.
Proof examples
Start with the public evidence packet that matches your work.
Each example uses public material to show the question, source boundary, report, exports, safeguards, and limits before you create an account.
Public patentability gap audit
Decide whether a disclosure has differentiators worth counsel review before drafting.
- Start with
- Public patent or publication number, paper, product page, or public non-confidential summary.
- Review output
- The report shows likely differentiators, closest references, gaps, and attorney-review questions.
Invalidity evidence map
Test a target claim set for IPR, PGR, litigation, licensing, or expert review.
- Start with
- Target patent number plus public claim set, public claim chart, or public complaint attachment.
- Review output
- The report separates supported elements, partial support, missing limitations, and next search branches.
Public feature-risk scout
Scout a public product feature for early patent-risk review without asking for a clearance opinion.
- Start with
- Public product page, public spec, or public non-confidential feature summary.
- Review output
- The report produces a triage list with active-rights follow-ups and explicit non-clearance limits.
Landscape map
Map a technology area, assignee set, or diligence topic before deeper review.
- Start with
- Technology area, competitor list, portfolio, public product line, or non-confidential deal topic.
- Review output
- The report gives an owner/reference map with coverage assumptions and follow-up questions.
Everyday IP work
Starter and Pro are built for finished evidence work.
Use online plans for defined-scope evidence workflows with visible pricing, cited reports, exports, saved matters, and add-on credits when usage grows.

- Re-scope by feature, owner, or launch jurisdiction.
Map an area
You need owners, clusters, references, and coverage assumptions for a technical area.
- Start with
- Name the area, assignees, date window, and business question.
- Inputs
- Technology area, Assignee list, CPC hints, Date window
- You receive
- Landscape map with clusters, reference table, owner notes, and follow-up questions.

Review diligence risk
You need IP risk surfaced around a company, product line, or portfolio.

What you receive
A useful search ends with reviewable materials.
Each search should leave you with cited references, limits, reviewer notes, exports, and a saved matter.
| Moment | You get | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Before you sign in | Public examples and a sample report you can inspect freely. | Free sample |
| Before a paid search | Search scope, price, required confirmations, and credit impact. | Your approval |
| After the search | Evidence table, report materials, source limits, and reviewer checklist. | Paid search |
| After export | PDF, CSV, memo-ready text, and a saved report version. | Included export |
| When something needs attention | Clear recovery steps, setup links, and support contact. | Recoverable |
Online matter work
Use your information only after the data boundary is clear.
Starter and Pro let practitioners work online without waiting for a sales call. You accept the terms, confirm you have authority to use the information, review the price, approve credit use, and export the report.
- Online plans include
- Matter workflows after online terms, priced searches, report exports, saved matters, and add-on credit packs.
- Enterprise adds
- Procurement, DPA or security review, team rollout, restricted-data terms, and custom support.
- Included credits
- Practitioner Starter: 40 search credits. Practitioner Pro: 200 search credits.
What the sprint produces
A review package your team can inspect.
A scoped prior-art sprint should leave the reviewer with the search question, candidate references, evidence notes, known limits, and recommended next searches in one practical report.
- Search boundary
- The review question, target facts, exclusions, and practical source limits stay visible.
- Candidate references
- Ranked records are kept inspectable so reviewers can challenge each citation.
- Evidence notes
- Source passages, dates, family context, and weak spots stay tied to the references.
- Review report
- The report preserves coverage limits, search context, and next-search recommendations.
Sample spine
One sample report shows how the review works.
The public example is the same sample report used across the site: three prior-art references plus a grouped component appendix. It keeps the page tied to the report a practitioner can actually inspect.
The appendix remains sample material only. It uses public source notes, not confidential matter facts, paid database coverage, file-history review, family normalization, or a legal conclusion.
Where this helps
Use it when evidence needs to be challenged, not merely summarized.
The path is designed for early review and scoping, especially when the team needs cited material and visible limits before deciding whether to run deeper work.
Novelty or patentability review
Invalidity or obviousness support
Freedom-to-operate scouting
Portfolio or diligence triage
Follow-up scoping after a first search
Evaluate fit
Open the sample, then decide whether an online plan fits.
Good fit means the evidence anchors, gaps, and limits are clear enough for a patent professional to inspect before paid search begins.
Inspect the sample report
Check whether cited references, dates, coverage notes, and weak spots are visible enough to review.
Review data coverage
Confirm what is checked, what is partial, and which sources need follow-up before reliance.
Start online access
Move to Starter or Pro only when the search question, authorization, and online budget are clear.
Review boundary
Search support, not a legal conclusion.
ipstrategy.tech organizes prior-art evidence for practitioner review. It does not provide validity, infringement, enforceability, clearance, or freedom-to-operate opinions.
- Before checkout
- Public sample materials stay non-billable and do not collect confidential facts.
- Starter or Pro
- Use authorized matter information online after accepting the terms, reviewing the price, and approving credit use.
- Enterprise setup
- Supported rollout, restricted-data terms, security review, DPA work, procurement, and custom support use the enterprise contact path.
