Patent prior art workspace

Find your own client's prior art first.

Ingest client's invention disclosure portfolio + prior PCT filings. Cross-vault search for analogous teaching. Each prior-art match → patent + claim + paragraph.

Built for patent attorneys, IP counsel, patent agents, innovation teams, and R&D portfolio teams that need prior-art evidence before filing.

The private-prior-art gap

The best prior art may be inside the client's own vault.

Public patent databases are necessary, but they do not search the client's unpublished invention disclosures, discarded embodiments, inventor questionnaires, prior draft claims, and old PCT filing work. Leapable lets IP teams search that private corpus next to public patent records and open the exact patent, claim, paragraph, and excerpt behind every candidate match.

60-second patent demo

Disclosure portfolio in. Analogous teaching found. Claim opened.

Demo flow: add a client's invention disclosure portfolio and prior PCT filings, ask for analogous teaching against a new disclosure, inspect cited claim and paragraph matches, then route the candidate art to attorney review.

Input

Invention disclosures, PCT filings, provisional drafts, office actions, diagrams, and patent PDFs.

Ask

Which earlier disclosures or patents teach the same claim element?

Output

Cited prior-art queue with patent, claim, paragraph, excerpt, and similarity score.

Transcript pending until the patent prior-art walkthrough is uploaded.

Capabilities

Four jobs for source-cited patent review.

Disclosure portfolio intake

Load inventor questionnaires, provisional drafts, drawings, emails, and claim notes without losing document, page, section, or paragraph lineage.

Cross-vault prior art search

Ask across private disclosures, prior PCT filings, old office-action work, and imported public patent records in one cited workspace.

Claim-and-paragraph evidence

Preserve the patent number, claim, paragraph, excerpt, and source file behind each analogous-teaching candidate.

FTO and novelty review queue

Route candidate art by similarity, jurisdiction, claim element, status, and reviewer owner before final legal analysis.

Typical workflows

Patent tasks that need source discipline.

01

Invention disclosure screen

Compare a new disclosure against the client's own backlog and imported public art before drafting claims.

02

PCT family conflict check

Trace similar teaching across older PCT filings, continuations, provisional drafts, and foreign-family documents.

03

Office action prep

Gather cited evidence for novelty, obviousness, claim amendment, and inventor-review discussions without losing the original source.

Trust and FAQ

Patent answers need exact evidence boundaries.

Does Leapable replace PatSnap, Derwent, LexisNexis, Questel, or Google Patents?

No. Leapable prepares cited evidence from private and imported corpora. Patent search platforms, PTO systems, and docketing tools remain critical systems of record.

Can it cite patent, claim, and paragraph for every match?

Yes. Ask from the local vault and inspect the cited patent, claim, paragraph, and excerpt before treating a prior-art candidate as actionable.

Can it search unpublished client invention disclosures?

Yes. Add inventor questionnaires, provisional drafts, PCT filings, office-action histories, diagrams, and public art, then search across the corpus.

Does it provide legal advice?

No. Leapable organizes evidence and flags analogous teaching. Qualified patent counsel owns patentability, FTO, invalidity, and prosecution strategy.

Final CTA

Turn the disclosure backlog into a cited prior-art workspace.

Install Leapable, add one sanitized invention disclosure folder, and review the first analogous-teaching match with patent, claim, paragraph, and excerpt attached.
