Ask NLPatent

Beyond Relevance Analysis, which shows feature-level similarities and differences between patents, NLPatent now offers a conversational way to explore a single patent in more detail: AskNLPatent.


This feature allows you to ask direct, natural-language questions about the contents of a specific patent—making it easier to extract meaningful insights quickly.


How to Access Ask NLPatent

Ask NLPatent can be found by clicking into a patent and then going to the tab "Ask NLPatent".

What You Can Ask

AskNLPatent is designed to help you interact with the full English text of a patent. In the text box, you can ask specific questions such as:

  • "What does this patent say about [XYZ concept]?"
  • "Can you summarize this patent in 3 sentences?"
  • "What is the main inventive concept?"
  • "What are the technical problems this invention aims to solve"


Limitations

  • AskNLPatent analyzes only the English text of the specification. It cannot interpret figures, claims in other languages, or bibliographic data.
  • It does not compare patents directly—only one document is analyzed at a time. However, you can manually paste in content from other patents for contextual comparisons.
  • This feature is intended to support analysis, not to replace professional legal advice
