Ambercite is a patent search platform that finds and ranks patents related to one or more starting patents. Ambercite Ai uses deep-learning and network algorithms to identify similar patents, drawing on a database described as containing over 106 million patents and 175 million patent citations. AmberScope maps and clusters patents that cite one another, helping users explore connections among similar or important documents. The maker lists prior art searching, licensing, patent landscaping and portfolio benchmarking as uses. It says the platform can complement existing patent search databases or work as a standalone tool. Its users include corporations, patent examination offices, IP firms, analysts and searchers. AmberScope is also aimed at R&D teams and business owners who are unfamiliar with Boolean parameters or technical class codes. The web service is available alongside an API offered to patent offices and industry players that do not compete with Ambercite. A 21-day trial gives access to Ambercite Ai and AmberScope, with 20 searches and no credit card or payment required. Ambercite is headquartered in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, and says it was founded in 2010.
Who it is for
