Patent card, AI summary, Chat with invention
After creating a search landscape, you will be presented with a list of patent families ranked from most similar to least similar to your query. Each retrieved patent family will be displayed on a "Patent card". Patent cards hold summarized information about the patent family. For each patent family, we pick a representative family member. The representative patent is picked from the family based on which family member has the most complete information.
On the patent card you will find the following elements:
Each patent has a title and an abstract, these hold summarized information about the patent's content.
This score reflects how closely the patent family's contents match your search query. A 100% similarity would only ever be achieved if the entire content of the patent family exactly matches your search query, which is virtually never.
The last known owner of the patent. If the owner of the patent family is unclear, the owner will be displayed as "unknown".
In-force: at least 1 family member has been granted and is currently in force. Pending: all patent family members are currently still pending approval with the patent office(s) in question. Inactive: All patent family members are no longer in force or pending and have lapsed. Unknown: Sometimes patent offices do not report patent statuses, in these cases, we will display the status as unknown.

In the Read More window, you can find Family Members. The family members overview includes all known family members at different patent offices around the world. GetFocus uses the 'simple patent family' definition, e.g. patents belonging to the same invention but having been filed in different countries. Each family member is displayed with a link to Google Patents.
Patent offices worldwide use classification codes to indicate the technology field an invention belongs to. At GetFocus, we use IPCR codes.
These application events indicate important dates in the life of this patent family. The priority date is when the invention was first filed with the patent office, the application date is when the patent office receives the complete patent application, and the publication date is when the invention is first published.
Similar inventions shows which other patent families are the most similar to the invention you are analyzing.
Click AI Summary to generate a Large Language Model (LLM) summary of the patent's content. When you click this button, Odin will summarize the invention's title, abstract, and claims, in a standardized format. Odin will generate a new title and abstract, both of which will be maximally descriptive of the invention (as most patent titles and abstracts are pretty vague). It will also create bullet point lists of which technologies are used in the invention, what the advantages are of the invention compared to previously known solutions (prior art), and what the application areas of the invention are.
Rather than reading the entire invention to get an idea of how exactly it works, you can chat with it! When using this function, Odin will read the entire patent for you (title, abstract, claims, and full description), and generate answers to your questions. This function can be used to answer any question you have. You can ask Odin exactly how the invention works, which materials are used, how it might be used in your industry, which specific examples or measurements are given, etc. Whatever you are after, ask it in chat with patent and save yourself hours of reading time.
Note: If you want to chat with a specific patent family member. First click read more to open the entire family > select the specific patent you want to chat with > click chat with patent to start chatting with it.
