For teams that develop technical products.

Understand technical problems.Develop solution paths.Make decisions traceable.

Product costs need to come down. A weakness remains unsolved. Or the next generation needs a new direction. inventMAP connects your engineering knowledge with patents, research and systematic analysis – so your team can develop well-founded solution paths.

  • EU-sovereign
  • no AI training on your data
  • built for confidential R&D
Linked technical information sources around a product and its development.

Where would you like to start?

Three typical engineering concerns – and where you start in inventMAP.

Improve an existing product

Examine costs, weaknesses and functions and develop improvement approaches.

Solve a technical problem

Understand causes and trade-offs and work out solution paths systematically.

Prepare the next product generation

Examine developments in technology and patent knowledge and evaluate possible directions.

In all three: Patents & Research

Patents and scientific papers from around the world show what is already protected – and how others, often in entirely different industries, have already solved a problem. You spot early where conflicts with third-party rights loom, use the protected state of the art as a springboard for your own, further-reaching ideas and make solutions from other industries work for your product.

The network

From a technical problemto a well-founded solution.

In the network, causes and trade-offs sit next to the patents, research results and ideas that solutions grow from. The connections show where a thought comes from and what it responds to.

Decisions stay linked to their reasoning and sources – still traceable months later.

Use case · Patents & Research

Patents are not an archive.They are development knowledge.

inventMAP turns patent knowledge into technical options: understand relevant rights, recognize solution principles and derive new development paths.

A real run on a published patent for cell connection in battery modules – available as an open report. The approaches are starting points for development: your team checks feasibility and the patent situation, with a patent attorney where needed.

Actual product view

From analysis to solution space – in inventMAP the technical reasoning stays traceable.

Abstract silhouette of a head made of network nodes – Gee as a thinking companion on the network.

Gee

Gee thinks along.Your team decides.

Gee knows the problem, existing ideas, patents and the connections in the network. It suggests analogies, solution directions and next steps – without taking the decision away from the team.

  • What if we fulfilled the function differently?
  • Which similar solutions exist in other industries?
  • Which risks should we check early?

Foresight & strategy

Review signals. Evaluate directions together.

PatentsResearchProject knowledgeMarketSignal→Trend→White spot→Direction→Development projectYour team evaluates and decides

Patents, research, project knowledge and market observations become signals. inventMAP condenses them into trends and makes possible white spots visible.

Whether they lead to a direction and a development project is evaluated and decided by your team – inventMAP provides the basis and records the reasoning.

Less searching.More technical capacity to act.

Knowledge stays connectable.

Earlier ideas and decisions remain usable.

Solution spaces grow.

Your own knowledge meets patents and research.

Decisions stay justified.

Origin and reasoning remain visible.

Movement becomes visible earlier.

Relevant signals reach development sooner.

Confidential development knowledgebelongs under your control.

Built from engineering practice

Born from real product development.

inventMAP grew out of real product-development work – projects where patents, technical trade-offs and technology decisions are part of everyday engineering.

The idea behind it: stop losing engineering knowledge in documents, meetings and individual minds, and keep technical relationships usable over time.

“The better question often isn't: What is still missing? It's: What can we remove?”

Bring a real topic.

A product that has to get better.A technical problem that is stuck.Or the next generation that needs a direction.
