What NLPatent does
The platform offers four core capabilities: Agents that run end-to-end prior art research with claim charts, Search that reads for concept rather than keywords, Intelligence that visualizes portfolios and monitors filings via alerts, and an API/MCP server for embedding patent search into internal or commercial products. All models run in a private cloud; client data is never used for training. The product is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type II compliant.
