In their own words
PatLab.AI
PatLab.AI is a web-based patent search service that looks across millions of patents for ideas that may apply to an invention. Its AI searches for concepts even when they are worded differently, rather than depending only on keyword matches. A result includes an explanation of why a patent may be relevant, and the service says it can prepare a prior art report within fifteen minutes. Users can ask follow-up questions about patents in the results.
A free search is available, and PatLab.AI recommends using it to refine a description before running a more thorough Pro search. Its guidance is to describe an invention in two to five sentences and focus on its novel features. Potential uses listed include prior art searches, application drafting, freedom to operate analyses, and patent validity analysis. The AI can identify patents disclosing a concept, but does not analyze claims to determine infringement. The homepage lists Search as “Free to $49” without a billing term; its plans list Free Patent Search at free and Pro Patent Search at $49, paid once.
