The analysis serious patent work needs.
Patent Bear Research brings the record, a 20M+ search corpus, citations, and structured workflows to serious patent analysis. Pick an analysis, let it run, and review the cited work product.
Prior Art: thousands of searches, narrowed to cited claim charts.
Prior Art is the clearest example of how Research works. Patent Bear decomposes the claim, generates element-level search strategies, runs high-volume searches across its own corpus, filters the noise, and maps candidate disclosures back to claim limitations.
- ●Searches Patent Bear's own 20M+ patent and publication database
- ●Fans out into element-by-element queries, alternate phrasings, CPC-focused passes, and citation/family exclusions
- ●Returns cited mappings that can become claim-chart work product
How to get there
Click Research in the top nav to open Research.
Pick Prior Art
Open a Prior Art analysis and point it at a patent.
Select the claims to analyze
Enter the patent, pick the claims, and set a priority-date cutoff if you need one.
Let it run in the background
A single run can fan out into thousands of searches. It runs in the background and emails you the moment it's done. Keep reading the patent or step away.
Review the overview
Land on the metrics: claims analyzed, proposed combinations, and the references that surfaced.
Walk the claims
Go claim by claim through coverage (generic, strong, thin, or missing) and the proposed §102 / §103 combinations down to the per-element mapping.
Review a reference
Open any candidate reference and switch between its Summary, the Reader, and the original PDF to confirm it.
Open and edit the claim chart
Open the reference's inline claim chart and save and edit it right there: refine the element-by-element mapping without leaving the run.
Check the gap analysis
Finish on the gap analysis: which limitations are well-covered and which still need stronger art.
Open a patent and start working from the record.
Search a patent, read the claims, check the support, and keep the work in Patent Bear instead of rebuilding it across tabs.
