# Patentable

> Patentable is a comprehensive patent intelligence platform that covers the entire IP lifecycle: prior art search across 5+ million US patents, claim-by-claim semantic similarity, AI-authored explanations of every patent, write-around and design-around generation, provisional patent drafting, freedom-to-operate analysis, conflict detection, and attorney tooling. We expose all of it through a web app, REST API, and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI agents can use it natively.

Patentable maintains the largest open-access prior art search index for US software and adjacent patents. Our corpus includes 27 million+ patent claims with PatentSBERTa 768-dimensional embeddings on HNSW indexes, plain-English translations of legal claim language, and AI-authored analysis of every patent's technical contribution and competitive landscape. Customers range from solo inventors filing their first provisional to patent attorneys running freedom-to-operate clearances for Fortune 500 clients.

AI-generated analysis (summaries, explanations, FAQs, write-arounds, design-arounds, FTO opinions) is licensed for reuse with attribution and a visible link back to the canonical URL.

## What Patentable does

- **Prior art search** — vector-based semantic similarity over 27M+ claims plus keyword and CPC filters
- **Claim translation** — every claim translated from legalese into plain English by Gemini, side-by-side with the original
- **Write-around generation** — for any target patent, generate alternative implementations that achieve the same end without infringing the claims
- **Design-around analysis** — claim-by-claim breakdown of how to engineer around a competitor's patent
- **Provisional patent drafting** — guided drafting of provisional applications from an invention disclosure
- **Freedom-to-operate (FTO) analysis** — full FTO opinions with prior art, claim mapping, and risk scoring
- **Conflict detection** — identify patents whose claims overlap with a proposed invention before filing
- **Invention analysis** — score novelty, non-obviousness, and patentability of an idea before investing in filing
- **Patent intelligence per patent** — AI-authored Forbes-style articles, technical deep-dives, layman explanations, FAQs, and hero infographics for each indexed patent
- **Attorney tooling** — dashboards, batch operations, citation management for IP attorneys
- **MCP server** — `npx @patentable/mcp` exposes prior art search, write-around, design-around, and disclosure tools to Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI agent
