What Patent Radar does

Patent Radar is a B2B SaaS that monitors patent and trademark records owned by its customers (rights holders), continuously scans the open web for third-party products and listings that may read on those rights, ranks the hits with quoted evidence, and delivers a draft claim chart for the customer's counsel to review.

Three entry pathways: start with a company (we pull every granted patent under their assignee); start with a single patent (paste the number or upload the PDF); watch a trademark (paste the word mark, we monitor four registers plus live commerce).

Who buys it

  • Heads of IP at portfolio-rich operating companies
  • IP licensing partners at law firms (Pro and Firm tiers)
  • University technology transfer offices (TTOs)
  • Patent boutiques running portfolios for multiple clients

How the agent works

  1. Limitation extraction. Anthropic Claude (Sonnet 4.5) parses granted independent and dependent claims into per-limitation rows. Long limitations are auto-split into phrases that map to litigation-grade language.
  2. Source crawl. Brave Search API (with SerpAPI fallback) drives the open-web sweep across the source classes above. Every fetch is timestamped and the page is captured.
  3. Scoring. The agent scores each candidate against each limitation on a four-tier scale: strong, likely, partial, weak.
  4. Evidence pack. Every row records the model identifier, prompt version, source URL, crawl date, and a SHA-256 hash of the captured page. The audit trail is non-optional.
  5. Delivery. The draft claim chart is exportable as Word, PDF, or CSV. The PDF carries the watermark 'Draft prepared by Patent Radar for legal review only'.

Tier system

There are four read tiers: strong, likely, partial, weak. There is no green tier and there is no red tier. Green would read as “infringement confirmed”, which is a legal conclusion Patent Radar will not make. Red would imply the same. The agent surfaces evidence; counsel makes the call.

Legal posture (non-negotiable)

  • Patent Radar sells evidence to the rights holder. It does not contact the alleged infringer, ever. Under UK Patents Act 1977 §70 (as amended by the Intellectual Property (Unjustified Threats) Act 2017), unjustified threats of infringement proceedings are a strict-liability tort. Germany, the Netherlands and Ireland have substantively similar regimes; Patent Radar applies the most conservative reading across all of them.
  • Every output is a draft for review by qualified legal counsel. Patent Radar does not give legal opinions.
  • The product does not maintain an API endpoint that lets the customer email a hit directly to a third party.

Pricing posture

  • Patent Radar does not publish a public price list.
  • Pricing is custom-quoted per portfolio after a 15-minute scoping call with the founder. The quote is returned inside the working day.
  • Typical landing range for current customers: £1,000 to £5,000 per month, billed monthly, cancel any time. Indicative, not a commitment.
  • Tier names in commercial conversations: Monitor (single portfolio), Pro (multi-portfolio, exports, on-demand reruns), Firm (multi-client, white label, bring-your-own LLM key).
