Compare patents within a family or between two families

Our Patent Comparator is available from 2 different locations, depending of your needs. The behaviour of the interface is strictly identical, however analysed content will change. See possibilities here below. 

• Preview & Biblio tab

Using the Compare button here will open a dedicated interface, with two publication stages selected from the same family.

• Hitlist toolbar

The Compare feature will open the same interface as above, but it will select the 2 representative members among the 2 families.

You cannot select more than 2 families to run this comparison, any selection with more than 2 will grey out this. 

Claims comparison 

Once opened, the interface will let you decide which publication stage you will compare. Then please click on Compare to see the differences. 

A typical choice is to define in red a published application, and in green the equivalent in its granted stage. Another suggestion is to compare two granted publications.

By default, we use a compare by character, to detect precise changes within words, such as spelling, punctuation, or formatting differences.

The other possibility is to compare by words, to identify differences by comparing terms and phrases at the word level.

Insight AI

We have introduced a more broad and simple comparison, based on an LLM (powered by OpenAI) that will use whole patents content including claims, and produce 4 short paragraphs, describing the common points and differences between the 2 selected publications.

You have to activate this Insight AI from the top right of the interface 

and wait a couple of seconds - may take up to 2mn with some of largest patents (like 300 pages each).

Summary, Applications and Commonalities paragraphs are indeed a good introduction to patents' content. The more selected patents are similar, the more these paragraphs will provide a comprehensive and precise explanation of content commonly shared. 

Differences paragraph is the most important to pin-point actual differences, within the context, between the 2 selected publications.  This synthetic content intends to not provide a legal ready-to-use text, but allow regular users to swiftly catch which ideas or concepts are differently disclosed or described, and may change the protection claimed/granted by these documents.
