The art you can't afford to miss.

Invalidity work, freedom-to-operate opinions, opposition responses, claim mapping — every workflow turns on finding one piece of prior art written in someone else's vocabulary, often a decade ago, in a different jurisdiction. Indago's smart ranking lets a phrase like "thermo-optic phase tuning" match an SOI doped-heater claim even when the words don't overlap. On the firm's machines.

II · What's included

Sources, scans, workflows.

The Patent bundle activates every patent source, the IP scan family, and the litigation-grade export pipeline. Drop it on top of the Code bundle if you also index in-house specs or technical documentation.

  • USPTO · EPO · WIPO · Google Patents · DPMA · Espacenet
    Full-text grants and applications · family-map traversal · live/expired filter.bulk fetch · ~7 M docs/yr delta
  • Native renderers
    anspruchskarte / claim-chart with typed matrix payload · filing-package · prior-art-sweep · patent-dossier · patent-watchlist.29-template surface · POST-body
  • Anti-fabrication rail

II.5 · Sample workflows

Real workflows. Real numbers.

Three workflows shaped for this bundle. Where the box reads Verified, the numbers come from a real run logged in this codebase. Where it reads Pending validation, the workflow shape is implemented and we are still gathering the headline numbers before we publish them.

Workflow 01 Verified

Hair-loss prior-art sweep

IP counsel · therapeutics
  1. InputFree-text claim language for an AR-PROTAC topical scalp formulation, dated 2025.
  2. MethodIndago indexed the Hair-loss workspace (patents + arXiv) and ran indago_contradictions + indago_novelty across the SFRP1 / RSPO1 / AR-PROTAC mechanism cluster.
  3. OutputA signed HTML report listing the seven competing patent families plus the cross-paper contradiction on NFATc1.
7 patent families · 3 candidates 7 patent family clusters (incl. US12365677B2 / EP3331905B1) and 3 mechanism candidates surfaced by D-3 + D-4 on the Hair-loss showcase, 2026-04-27.
Workflow 02 Pending validation

Invalidity contention · silicon photonics

IP counsel · litigators
  1. InputA target US patent claim 14 covering an SOI thermo-optic phase shifter, plus your drafting library.
  2. MethodSmart ranking of USPTO + EPO + IEEE NPL against the claim language, with FTO date filter and a submarine-watch scan over the assignee's continuations.
  3. OutputSARIF-style invalidity bundle: prior-art rows with claim/column citations + an ordered exhibit list ready for the matter file.
Days → minutes Workflow shape live; concrete run on a customer claim still pending end-to-end test.
Workflow 03 Pending validation

FTO before launch · automotive LiDAR

R&D portfolio · litigators
  1. InputProduct spec (905 nm VCSEL array, sub-ns pulse) + the four target launch jurisdictions.
  2. MethodLive-patent filter across USPTO/EPO/WIPO + family-map traversal + assignee acquisition flag.
  3. OutputBlocking-art list with active jurisdictions, term-end dates and family-expansion diff.
Active blockers Demo shape mapped against the patent bundle source list — pending live FTO dry-run on a customer product.

Verified workflows are reproducible against the index hash listed in each run. Pending workflows are a written commitment, not a customer quote — we publish numbers only when we have measured them.
