Trust + legal posture
We draw a bright line, and we stay on the right side of it.
Patent Radar exists to surface evidence that helps a rights holder defend their IP. We do not act for the alleged infringer. We do not draft demand letters. Every chart is a draft for legal review. These are the six principles we will never compromise.
Six principles
We sell to the rights holder only
Patent Radar serves the patent owner, the trademark owner, or their counsel. We do not act for, sell to, or contact the alleged infringer. Ever.
We never contact the alleged infringer
Under the UK Patents Act 1977 (Section 70) and similar EU and US regimes, an unjustified threat of infringement proceedings is a strict-liability tort. We will not help anyone send a demand letter, a cease-and-desist, or any communication that constitutes a threat. We produce evidence; your attorney decides what to do with it.
Every output is labelled draft for legal review
Our claim charts, evidence packs, and PDF exports carry a watermark that reads: Draft prepared by Patent Radar for legal review only. Not legal advice. They are intended to brief your qualified counsel, not to replace them.
Confidence tiers, never red
We use a three-tier confidence system: high (green), medium (amber), low (slate). We deliberately do not use red, because the UI must never read as infringement confirmed. That is a legal call, not an algorithm call.
Provenance on every assertion
Every AI-produced statement carries model version, prompt version, source URL, crawl timestamp, and an evidence hash. So your counsel can audit the chain of custody and so opposing counsel cannot tear it apart at deposition.
Your data is yours
Portfolio uploads, claim text, and any analyst comments belong to you. We do not train on your data. We do not sell or share it. Drug Landscape Ltd is the data controller, registered with the UK ICO as C1940863.
Frequently asked
Can you write a cease-and-desist or demand letter?
No. That is your attorney's call. We produce the evidence pack so your counsel can move faster.
Is your output admissible in court?
The underlying evidence (source snapshots, hashes, crawl timestamps) is built to support admissibility. The claim chart itself is a draft for your litigator to refine. Treat it as work product, not testimony.
Do you give legal opinions?
No. We are not a law firm. We are an evidence-generation tool. We work alongside your attorney; we do not replace them.
What happens if the AI gets a claim wrong?
That is why every chart is labelled draft for legal review, every assertion carries provenance, and every confidence level is bounded. Your counsel checks the output before it touches a courtroom or a negotiation.
Where do you store the data?
Neon Postgres in the EU and a Hostinger VPS in the EU. UK and EU GDPR apply. International transfers (to Vercel, Resend, and LLM providers) happen under the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.
What about my own counsel's privilege?
We are a vendor. Communications with us are not privileged unless you involve them through your counsel. Treat the platform like Westlaw or PACER, not like a partner.
