# Patalyze

> Patalyze provides the data and tools necessary for large-scale patent research with AI agents.

Work happens inside a research database: collect patents and products, let Patalyze map every product against every patent claim by claim, and read the results on pages (filterable tables, dashboards, and notes). The data is searchable over a single API, and two MCP servers open the whole platform to AI agents over OAuth.

Every documentation page is also available as clean markdown at its `.md` URL.

## Start

- [What is Patalyze](https://patalyze.com/docs.md): Patalyze provides the data and tools for agentic patent research. A guided tour of research databases, data, pages, workflows, integrations, and the API.
- [Quickstart](https://patalyze.com/docs/quickstart.md): Go from a blank account to your first scored mapping in about five minutes: start a research, add a patent and a product, and let Patalyze chart one against the other.

## Data

- [Patents](https://patalyze.com/docs/patents.md): What a patent is and how Patalyze represents one: the record it gathers from the corpus, how to search and add patents, a tour of what is inside, and how it maps to a product.
- [Products](https://patalyze.com/docs/products.md): What a product is in Patalyze: any real-world offering a patent's claims can be read against. How Patalyze understands one as a structured doc, the ways to add it, the blocks you build it from, its attributes, and how its features map to patent claims.
- [Mappings](https://patalyze.com/docs/mappings.md): A mapping is Patalyze's claim chart: one patent read against one product, element by element, scored into a risk band.
- [Attributes](https://patalyze.com/docs/attributes.md): Attributes are the structured fields on a patent or product: the two kinds, their value types, how to edit them, and how they drive filtering and charting.

## Presentation

- [Tables](https://patalyze.com/docs/tables.md): Tables are the triage surface for a research: rows of patents or products, mapping columns that show each claim match, and filters to surface the dangerous few.
- [Dashboards](https://patalyze.com/docs/dashboards.md): A dashboard charts the shape of a whole research database: distributions, trends, and breakdowns. Learn the chart types, how to build one, and how to read them.
- [Notes](https://patalyze.com/docs/notes.md): A note is a rich-text write-up with live links back to your patents and products, embedded charts, and a generated executive summary.

## Workflows

- [Freedom to Operate](https://patalyze.com/docs/freedom-to-operate.md): Run a freedom-to-operate analysis end to end: set up a research, add your product, gather the patents, map the risk, and record a verdict.
- [Infringement Detection](https://patalyze.com/docs/infringement-detection.md): Start from a patent you hold and find the products that practice its claims: choose your patents, gather suspect products, and rank the matches.

## Integrations

- [ChatGPT](https://patalyze.com/docs/chatgpt.md): Connect the Patalyze and Global Patents MCP servers to ChatGPT and Codex over OAuth, then run patent research in plain language.
- [Claude](https://patalyze.com/docs/claude.md): Connect Patalyze and Global Patents MCP servers to Claude over OAuth, on the web, desktop, mobile, and Claude Code, then run patent analyses in plain language.
- [MCP](https://patalyze.com/docs/mcp.md): Patalyze's two MCP servers: Global Patents for read-only corpus access, and Patalyze for full read-write access to your research from any MCP client.

## Data API

- [Using the API](https://patalyze.com/docs/api.md): What the Data API is and who it's for, how to authenticate with a bearer token, and how to run your first boolean or semantic patent search over HTTP.
- [Endpoints](https://patalyze.com/docs/endpoints.md): Reference for the four Data API REST endpoints: search and fetch patents and classifications, with request bodies, filter fields, operators, and response shapes.

## Blog

- [The concept of priority](https://patalyze.com/blog/the-concept-of-priority): A comprehensive guide to patent priority. Learn how claiming priority establishes an earlier effective filing date, the role of provisional applications and the PCT system, how to handle multiple priorities, common pitfalls to avoid, and strategic considerations for your international patent filing strategy.
- [The context code: Making sense of patent numbers](https://patalyze.com/blog/the-context-code-making-sense-of-patent-numbers): Understand the anatomy of a patent publication number, which consists of a country code, a unique number, and a kind code. This post focuses on the significance of the kind code for determining a document's procedural stage. We explain the fundamental difference between 'A' publications (applications) and 'B' publications (granted patents) and provide a quick-reference list of common kind codes for the EPO, USPTO, and WIPO (PCT) systems.
- [There is no world wide patent](https://patalyze.com/blog/there-is-no-world-wide-patent): There is no such thing as a worldwide patent. This guide explains the crucial concept of territoriality and walks through the real-world tools inventors use for international protection. Discover the distinct roles of the European Patent, the Unitary Patent, and the PCT 'international' application in building a global patent portfolio.
- [Whirlpool vs. the world](https://patalyze.com/blog/whirlpool-vs-the-world): Whirlpool's recent lawsuit against major competitors highlights the high stakes of patent litigation. Discover how Patalyze's AI-powered analysis can rapidly identify counter-infringement opportunities, turning defensive legal strategies into proactive leverage in minutes.
- [Conditions for granting a patent](https://patalyze.com/blog/conditions-for-granting-a-patent): To secure a patent, an invention must meet three core requirements: it must be technical, novel, and non-obvious (involve an inventive step). This post delves into each of these fundamental conditions. You'll gain a deep understanding of the "problem-solution approach": the specific method used by the European Patent Office to assess inventive step, complete with a practical example that makes this complex concept easy to grasp.
- [So why patents? What's the deal?](https://patalyze.com/blog/so-why-patents-whats-the-deal): Explore the fundamentals of patents, their differences from other intellectual property rights, and the core principles that govern the patent system. This post explains the 'deal' behind patents and examines key requirements for patentability. Learn about territorial aspects, examination procedures, and how patent protection works across different jurisdictions.
