Self-aligning vessel mount
One keyword-and-classification pass. It is not a novelty opinion, and finding nothing is not proof that nothing exists.
Example output, shown with sample data.
Proof
The evidence standard, up front.
Every claim element tied to the exact passage it rests on, or marked unresolved rather than guessed. Paid research is tested the same way, for novelty and inventive step.
| Claim | Prior art match | Status |
|---|---|---|
| CLAIM 1aSelf-aligning base plate | US-10,842,113-B2 · col. 4, ln. 12–18“…a base plate configured to receive a rotational coupling assembly permitting self-alignment along two axes…” | Sourced |
| CLAIM 1bSealed liquid chamber | WO-2021/034552 · ¶0031“…a gimbal mount stabilises the vessel against a single axis of tilt…” Covers one axis, not two. The gap is where your novelty may sit. | Partial |
| CLAIM 1cSensor auto-calibration | No supporting passage retrievedWe could not bind this element to a specific passage, so it is recorded as unresolved rather than asserted. An attorney reviewing this knows exactly where to look. | Unresolved |

Why try this
Built for anyone who needs to know.
In the UK, a patent is only granted for something new. Search first, and you find out before you pay for a filing or tell anyone about it. The price is per project, not per seat.
- InventorsFind out whether your idea already exists before you spend money on a filing. One search is free on your first project.
- AttorneysRun a bounded prior-art check with real patent numbers before committing to a full search.
- FirmsStandardised prior-art searches across a portfolio of cases. Each project is self-contained and priced per invention.
- InstitutionsScreen disclosures before deciding whether to pursue a patent application. Evidence-bound results, not just AI summaries.
How it works
Four steps. The first one is free.
Every finding is tied to the passage it rests on. Where we cannot tie one, we say so rather than guessing.
A handheld kitchen gadget that minces garlic cloves with minimal cleanup. Spring-loaded ejection trigger in the upper handle snaps a spiked cleaning grid through the crushing chamber, clearing skin and pulp with a single click.
A short paragraph is enough
The report
What you get back.
A report in six parts, in the order you would want to read them. Every view is tied back to the references and passages it rests on.
Invention summary
Your invention in a structured form, built from your own description of it.
Prior art, reference by reference
The patents that matter, with their real numbers and a link to each one.
Claim chart
Each suggested claim element set against the passage that supports it, quoted word for word, or flagged where none was found.
Novelty and inventive step
A view on both under the UK tests, tied back to the references and passages it rests on.
Likely examiner objectionsSimulation
The objections an examiner could raise, simulated and labelled as a simulation.
How the search was done
The record of the search itself, so you can check it rather than redo it.

What was followed
Citations followed backward and forward from the strongest references.
What was screened and what was kept
How many references were looked at, and which ones made it into the report.
What it could not cover
Anything the search could not reach is stated in the report, not left out.
What backs each claim
Every line here names its source.

We will show what we didn't reach.
Each search will show which databases were queried, which failed, and whether it stopped because it converged or ran out of budget.Patent Search: what’s included and what’s coming soon.

Citation Chaining
Every retrieved reference pulls its own citations forward, so the search follows a trail instead of stopping at page one.

Claim Chart & Examiner Simulation
Each claim element is tied to a verbatim quoted passage, then tested for novelty and inventive step the way a UK examiner would.

Why two paid tiers instead of one.
Fast Search returns a bounded two-pass result quickly. Research converges: it runs more passes, follows citations back, and stops only when the search stabilises. Both are per-invention, not per-month. Fast Search upgrades to Research on the same project for £220 (never a second £299). The free tier is always free on your first project and never a monthly allowance.
- No card
- Free on your first project
- You read every result before anything is paid for
