Invent again — don't just process.

inventMAP makes technical problems visible and connects them with the knowledge in patents, research and your own earlier solutions — from the single case to your technology roadmap.

• ✓Patent knowledge in engineering language — solution principles, not hit lists
• ✓The problem as a model: causes, contradictions and solutions in one place
• ✓Hosted under EU sovereignty in France, no training on your data
• ✓Patent module from €149/month, cancel monthly — 14-day free trial with €20 credit

The network

Goals, causes, contradictions, solutions and follow-on problems — as a map instead of gut feeling.

The world's knowledge

Prior art, solution principles, scientific publications and competitors — in engineering language.

The strategy

Observations, trends, radar and roadmap — fed by your real work rather than bought-in trend lists.

The problem in plain language

The sentence above is enough. inventMAP turns it into a search strategy across worldwide patent data.

The patent world answers

Thousands of documents become families, and those become the technically relevant solutions.

Principles instead of hit lists

For example: separate the current path from the compliance. Move the compensation into a structure of its own. Every principle with evidence.

Back into your problem

The principle docks onto the contradiction in your network — from here you develop and decide.

Understand what is really blocking you

Product, documents and meetings become a technical map — with causes and contradictions instead of gut feeling.

Use the world's knowledge — without patent legalese

Search and analysis in engineering language; the insights flow back into your own problem.

Never invent the same thing twice

Earlier solutions, your own patents and project knowledge stay findable — and dock onto new problems by themselves.

Decisions that stay justifiable

Compare concepts, run the risk view (D-FMEA) on the same model, freeze states, generate the invention disclosure.

Notice what is changing out there before it hurts

Observations, radar and the patent monitor feed your strategy from your actual work.

Deliberately find different solution principles — not just similar hits.

Automatically hold new outside knowledge against your active problems — the watchdog reports meaning, not documents.

Show blind spots: which solution directions your team has not examined at all.

The easiest start: a real problem and the patent world.

The patent module stands on its own: you search in your language, understand solution principles instead of hit lists, pull ideas out of the analyses and weigh them in conversation with the AI. The watchdog reports when something moves out there.

And when you want more, it grows with you: in the Project module you develop the principles further in the problem–solution network — all the way to an evaluated concept.

Your technical thinking is your most secret asset.

When a tool connects problems, ideas, patents and decisions, confidentiality has to live in the architecture — not in a promise.

inventMAP is not a software experiment — it grew out of real development practice. Gregor Panitz, an engineer since 1999, has spent more than two decades developing products — connectors and electrical contacts, automotive, e-mobility, power electronics — and has contributed to more than 45 patent filings. The methods in inventMAP are the ones he uses to get stuck projects moving again at market leaders and mid-sized manufacturers. The software is the tool he wished he had had at the drawing board all those years.

The interesting question is rarely 'what is still missing?' — it is 'what can actually go?'
