For Corporate IP Departments

Stop losing value at portfolio review.

Every year, valuable patents are abandoned because the maintenance call is made on a hunch. PatentOS gives your team evidence, A/B/C ranking, Japan revenue at risk, infringers you didn't know existed.

What's at risk

The patents you abandon are costing you. You just don't see it.

Most corporate IP teams review hundreds of patents per year on partial information. Maintenance decisions get made under deadline. Infringement of your own patents goes undetected because nobody has the time to look.

How it works

Patent number in. Decision-grade answer out.

  1. 01

    Upload your portfolio.

    Drop in a CSV of patent numbers, yours, your acquisition target's, or a watchlist. JP and US patents in one workflow.

  2. 02

    PatentOS builds the case.

    Council review decomposes claims, hunts infringing products, preserves agreement and dissent, and estimates revenue exposure with cited sources.

  3. 03

    Route high-stakes calls.

    Anything ranked A (high infringement, high revenue) can be routed to your counsel, PatentOS patent attorneys, or both before action.

  4. 04

    You decide.

    A heatmap, a rank, a revenue estimate, and an evidence package, per patent. Maintain, license, sell, enforce, or let lapse. Confidently.

Built differently

Why PatentOS is more than another patent search tool.

Procurement teams ask: "why this system?" PatentOS runs a bounded council across evidence, logic, citations, and counterarguments, then leaves a reviewable decision record your legal team can inspect.

01

Council verification

Evidence, Logic, Citation, and Counterargument personas independently scrutinize each finding before it advances. Counterarguments surface design-around risks early.

4 council roles
02

Dissent log

Contradictions are retained as reviewable notes instead of being averaged into false confidence. Counsel can see where the system was uncertain.

Reviewable uncertainty
03

Source-grounded retrieval

Exact, semantic, and source-specific retrieval work together so important assertions point back to product evidence, filings, or technical material.

Cited evidence
04

Synthesizer layer

A synthesizer reconciles council output into a decision record with sources, uncertainty, and escalation notes.

One review record
05

Native JP + US parsing

JPO claim structures with FI/F-term classification handled natively. USPTO means-plus-function detection. Japanese Jitsuyou Shin'an supported. No translation layer that drops nuance.

Both jurisdictions native
06

Confidence routing

High-conviction findings move forward, ambiguous findings route to review, and weak findings are rejected with the reason preserved.

07

Audit trail (litigation-defensible)

Every important decision keeps reasoning notes, source citations, and timestamps. Months later you can reproduce why a maintenance call was made.

08

Japanese subsidiary mapping

Foreign parent → Japan entity automatically resolved (e.g., Apple Inc. → Apple Japan合同会社). Critical for Japan revenue estimation; impossible to do manually at scale.

09

Continuous learning loop

Every 弁理士 correction feeds back into the model evaluation pipeline. The system gets more accurate as your team uses it. Domain-specific accuracy targets enforced per technology area.

Use Cases

Where IP teams use PatentOS today.

Four scenarios where PatentOS replaces guesswork with evidence, and surfaces value your team didn't know was there.

Annual 棚卸し / maintenance review

Triage 1,000+ patents in days, not months. A/B/C ranking with revenue evidence, keep what's valuable, drop what's not, and never accidentally abandon an A-ranked patent again.

Infringement of your own portfolio

Continuous surveillance for products that infringe your patents. PatentOS scans Japanese e-commerce, manufacturer websites, and corporate filings. Find the infringers your competitors miss.

Portfolio valuation for finance

Quantitative valuation by patent and aggregate. Japan revenue at risk × infringement probability × remaining patent life. Hand it to CFO with confidence intervals.

M&A IP due diligence

Evaluate a target company's portfolio in days, not months. Hidden gems, weak claims, prior-art exposure, quantified before the LOI.

Confidentiality

Per-tenant isolation. Your patents and analyses never train shared models. SOC2 roadmap published on /trust.

JP + US native

Built for both jurisdictions from day one. JPO and USPTO claim structures handled natively.

Audit trail

Every AI decision logged with reasoning chain. Defensible if a maintenance decision is ever questioned.

FAQ

Common questions from IP departments.

How does PatentOS handle confidential patent data?
Per-tenant database isolation. Your portfolio is encrypted at rest and in transit. We never use your data to train shared models. Full security posture published on /trust. SOC2 Type II roadmap committed for FY2027.
How does pricing scale with our portfolio size?
Two-axis pricing: depth (Regular ¥10K vs Deep-Dive ¥50K per patent) × volume bundles. Department tier covers 1,000 regulars + 30 deep-dives per year for ¥4M. Enterprise covers unlimited regulars + 300 deep-dives for ¥40M. Above-plan billed at preferential overage rates.
Can we run regulars first, then deep-dives only on the A-rank patents?
Yes, that's the recommended workflow. Run Regular 調査 across the portfolio in 棚卸し season; PatentOS flags A/B/C. Then run Deep-Dive 深堀り調査 only on A-ranked patents for litigation-grade evidence. Regular results are reused, the additional scope and fee are agreed in advance.
Can it integrate with our existing IP management system?
Yes, Enterprise tier includes API access. Native integrations in development for Anaqua, Innography, and Computer Packages. Custom integrations available on Custom tier.
What about multi-year contracts?
2- and 3-year contracts available with up to 25% discount. Includes price lock and priority feature requests.
What support is included?
Department: email support, 1 business day response. Enterprise: dedicated CSM + named 弁理士 reviewer, 4-hour SLA. Custom: 24/7 priority + dedicated technical account manager.
Is there a white-label option?
Yes, on Enterprise and Custom tiers. Useful for IP service organizations who want to deliver PatentOS capabilities under their own brand.
Where is the data hosted?
Storage and analysis use the configured hosting and AI providers, including Convex infrastructure in the United States. Processing locations and provider terms should be confirmed for your intended use before uploading confidential data.
