Frequently asked questions

Yes. Teams use &AI to run comprehensive prior art searches in-house—often in a single afternoon. You get faster iteration, broader source coverage (patents, NPL, products, archived web), and results you can immediately chart or export.

Patents, non-patent literature, products, clinical trials, and archival web materials.

Yes. Select a figure from a patent and &AI will find similar prior art across patents—useful for mechanical or design-focused claims.

Anything available on the internet, including archived web pages via the Wayback Machine.

Most users find strong candidate references within 30–60 minutes. Compare that to 1–3 weeks from an outside search firm.

Outside firms typically charge $5K–$15K per search. With &AI, search is iterative and depends on the size of the patent, the number of results requested, and other factors. Searches typically cost around a few hundred dollars worth of credits ($100-$300).

Prior art search is the process of finding earlier patents, publications, products, or public disclosures that may anticipate or render obvious a patent’s claims. &AI runs prior art searches across 60M+ patents, non-patent literature, products, and archived web in minutes—then lets you chart the references you find.

Traditional keyword search requires you to guess the exact words used in a reference. &AI searches by claim limitations, concepts, and even patent figures or images across patents, NPL, products, and archived web—so it surfaces relevant prior art that exact-match keyword tools and Google Patents miss.

Yes. &AI helps you find §102 and §103 references for IPR petitions and district-court invalidity, then map each limitation with pinpoint citations you review and approve before export.

Yes. Start from a patent number, paste claim language, select specific limitations, or pick a figure from a patent, and &AI returns ranked references with the passages or images that map to each element.

Section 102 (anticipation) requires a single reference that discloses every claim limitation. Section 103 (obviousness) combines multiple references with a motivation to combine. &AI supports both—single-reference charts and multi-reference §103 combinations.
