PatentNorth
Know the prior art before you file.
PatentNorth is an early-stage research project. It helps inventors, start-up founders and university spinout teams understand existing patents and papers before they speak to a patent attorney.
What we're building
- Search across millions of patents and research papers to surface the closest earlier work to an idea.
- Clear, plain-English reports that show where each result comes from, with links to the original documents.
- Preparation for a better-informed conversation with a qualified patent attorney.
What we don't do
PatentNorth does not give legal advice, judge whether an invention is patentable, or predict the outcome of any case. Search results are a starting point for professional advice, not a substitute for it.
