NOVELTY SEARCH
X Detection Rate · Top 100
Found at least one examiner-cited X document in 81% of 340 test cases.
Describe your invention. The Novelty Search Agent extracts its technical features, runs multiple search strategies, and maps each finding to source evidence so you can decide what to file.
See it in actionStop weak ideas before months of development and testing compound.
Refine the invention before drafting and filing costs are committed.
Reduce avoidable rejections, claim changes, and additional Office Action cycles.
Lower late prior art risks to patent validity, exclusivity and underlying investment.
Learn how expert searchers frame, expand, and refine search strategies, not just which documents they find.
Learn how examiners map technical features against prior art and identify the points that affect novelty.
Learn which references examiners, invalidity proceedings deem material—not just semantically similar patents.
The agent runs the full prior-art workflow autonomously — but you stay in control at every critical decision point.
Enter the technical problem, solution, advantages, and implementation details in plain language — or upload a PDF, image, or Office document. The agent accepts 200-500 words with automatic figure extraction.

The agent identifies claim-like features, dependencies, and inventive concepts — then maps them to patent claim dimensions for structured searching.

The agent expands keywords, synonyms, semantic concepts, patent classifications, and jurisdictions — then iterates across 40+ search strategies in parallel. The same multi-strategy coverage a senior searcher would run — executed in parallel.

The agent ranks prior art and maps each reference against your invention’s features in a comparison table. Every cell links to the source patent text — no black box.

The report summarizes closest prior art, novelty risks, evidence gaps, and patentability considerations — so your team can decide whether to file, refine, or stop. Every conclusion traces to source, meeting due diligence defense requirements.




Built for examiner-style prior art retrieval, feature comparison, and human review before filing.
NOVELTY SEARCH
Found at least one examiner-cited X document in 81% of 340 test cases.
Novelty search needs source-backed retrieval, comparison, and review workflows beyond a general chat response.
| Dimension | General AI | Eureka Novelty Search Agent |
|---|---|---|
| Patent retrieval | Scans the product context or broad web knowledge | Searches specific patent data and prior-art references |
| Citation traceability | Easy summarized without verifiable source links | Links findings back to source documents with references |
| Search workflow | Constrained knowledge, limited strategy options | Runs semantic, keyword, classification, and citation strategies |
| Review-ready output | Narrative answer that will rarely instruct structuring | Produces a structured feature comparison for expert review |
IP Counsel / Patent AttorneyTASK
Pre-screen inventions before engaging outside counsel
USE
Run a preliminary novelty assessment in-house, review cited findings at checkpoints, then hand the report to prosecution teams for deeper legal judgment.
"It doesn't just return a list of links; it acts like a seasoned examiner. What truly sets it apart is the Intelligent Feature Extraction, it breaks down our complex inventions into core technical points that we can actually verify and tweak. We used to spend days on manual searches, but now we get a comprehensive, expert-level report in under 15 minutes."
—— Sarah J., IP Director, Leading Consumer Electronics Company
R&D Engineer / InventorTASK
Validate ideas before investing development resources
USE
Submit a technical solution in plain language and see the blocking references explained early, before the team commits more development time.
"As an engineer, waiting two weeks for a novelty report was a major bottleneck that killed our momentum. With this AI agent, I can run a search the moment an idea strikes during our brainstorming sessions. It allows us to validate technical directions immediately and kill non-viable ideas before we waste budget on them."
—— Dr. Alan M., R&D Lead, Global Automotive Manufacturer
Researcher / Patent AnalystTASK
Augment manual search with blind-spot coverage
USE
Use agent as second-pass layer across semantic, keyword, classification, citation strategies, verify each match with professional judgment.
"It finds prior art that uses completely different language but describes the same underlying technology which traditional tools constantly missed. It’s like having a dedicated patent expert embedded in our lab who works at lightning speed. It has saved us from filing at least two patents that would have certainly been rejected."
——Dr. Kevin L., Senior Scientist, BioPharma

Patent novelty search is the process of checking whether an invention is new before filing a patent application. It compares an invention disclosure against published patents, applications, and technical literature to find prior art that may disclose the same or similar technical features. A strong novelty search helps R&D and IP teams understand patentability risk early, refine claims, decide whether to file, and avoid spending budget on ideas that are already known. Patsnap Novelty Search AI Agent turns this workflow into an interactive prior art search and feature comparison report.
We employ Enterprise- Grade Security measures. We use PatsnapGPT, purpose-buit and trained on IP -specific data, combined with strict confidentiality protocols to ensure your senstive innovation data is protected and never used to train the model over your input.
No. We advocate for a Human-in-the-Loop (Hybrid) model. The Agent handles the high-volume, time-consuming searching and analysis, delivering resuts that your IP experts can audit and use to make the final strategic decision, focusing their efforts on high-value work.
Unlike single-shot search tools, the Agent uses a Multi-Round Search Strategy. It combines semantic search, four types of keyword searches, classification code extensions, and citation tracing to replicate expert searching and achieve high recall and precision.
We recommend providing clear, structured input (under 1,000 words). The workfiow includes user checkpoints after feature extraction, allowing you to quickly review, edit, or mark core features to ensure the search is accurately aligned with your specific technical domain before execution.
