PORTAL

Unified Portal launches AI-based prior art searching for US patents

Unified is happy to announce a new feature to quickly find prior art on US patents with our Portal tool. Through a partnership with PQAI, a researcher will receive the most relevant prior-art results to determine the novelty and obviousness of the patent in question. Unified Portal offers three ways of searching for prior art:

In our patent detail page next to the patent title, there is a button labeled "Find Prior Art". Clicking this button will provide our user with a list of potential prior art patents to review. These results will be shown in Portal’s patent search page with its corresponding query string.

Reading through the patent within Portal’s patent detail page will also give our users an opportunity to search for prior art on a specific claim they would like to research further:

The third way of searching for prior art within Portal is to search by natural language here: https://portal.unifiedpatents.com/patents/prior-art/pqai

If results are found, up to 10 results are produced to help researchers and inventors determine the novelty of their inventions. For more details or to ask questions, please email info@unifiedpatents.com.

RNIX & SVIX, the first tool set to help objectively save on annuities

With patent annuities sky rocketing into the billions of dollars over the next few years, Unified has developed the world's first tool set to objectively help in deciding what to continue paying annuities on. Unified algorithms calculated 70 million unique patent families based on their Patent Value (PVIX) and an indexed score of their future lifetime cost (SVIX). Combining these two items together makes RNIX, the world's first tool which provides portfolios managers an objective and easy way to quickly ascertain which families are likely to provide the highest value at the lowest cost (and vice versa).

Combined with tools to evaluate patent broadness (BRIX) and validity (APIX), Unified provides the first comprehensive and completely objective set of tools based on academic rigor to help patent portfolio managers effectively evaluate and prioritize.
