Precision
AI instantly identifies one or two highly relevant "seed" patents that capture the core invention — turning hours of keyword discovery into seconds.

A strong provisional starts with
a strong prior-art search.
Gate-IP takes an invention disclosure and turns it into a patentability search report you can trust — looping until it holds up — so your provisional lands with strong embodiments, ready for full claims 12 months later. Use us for the whole flow, or just the prior-art search where we're strongest, and bring in a lawyer only when it makes sense.

Why it works
If a patentability search skips these, don't trust it
It doesn't matter whether AI or a human runs it — a patentability search is only as good as the process behind it. Before Gate-IP trusts a result, it checks:
- 2–3 patent search tools
- 3–5 search iterations per tool
- Inventive feature mapping
- Scientific literature (NPL)
- Exact full-text passages supporting the analysis
Finding documents isn't the goal. Building enough evidence to reach a reliable conclusion is.
Speed
8 hours of patent searching, done in 8 minutes
A traditional patent search takes 4–8 hours: first you fight keyword uncertainty, then you chase comprehensive recall. Gate-IP collapses both phases.
Recall
Citation-based search expands from those seeds to map the entire landscape of related patents with high precision, often in a single iteration.
A professional-grade patent search in minutes — without compromising quality.
The proof
Same prompt. Same model. Very different result.
"Do a patentability search for a robotic cat with proprioception." Run in Claude alone, then in Claude with the Gate-IP (Ambercite) MCP.
- Plausible-sounding narrative
- No verifiable patent numbers
- No citation trail to check
- Real patent results
- Citation-based patent search
- Feature-by-document mapping (F1–F6)
- Citations you can actually open
Creating more ideas is not enough. You need to know which idea has room, which angle is still open, and which difference is actually protectable.
The economics
An IP lawyer costs €250–€750 per hour
Now imagine paying that rate for 20 hours of:
- reviewing your notes
- identifying inventions
- deciding what to file
- screening for obvious patentability risks
- structuring the first draft
That would be ridiculous.
Better input means lower legal bills. When lawyers trust the quality of your input, they focus on legal review, risk, and filing strategy — where their expertise is truly required. Use AI and the right consultant for preparation; bring lawyers in at the right moment.
You do not need a bigger law firm.You need a better IP system.

"Can I patent that?" is the easy question
The hard part is having a process that answers it — fast, and backed by evidence — every single time.
What is your process to say YES or NO in your organisation?
Patentability search, directly in your AI workflow.

Turn patent search into a decision — not a pile of PDFs
Most patent committees still decide filings with tools from the 2000s. Gate-IP runs an agentic workflow — disclosure intake, structuring, seed identification, large-scale citation search, a fast novelty-risk signal, and a committee-ready report — so what reaches the table is a decision, not a stack of documents.
