Patent Intelligence + Research
Patents show what others protect.inventMAP shows what you can build from it.
Find relevant patents, understand them technically and use them in your own development – from research to design-around. Research publications can feed into the same technical question.

Why patent knowledge often comes too late
The value of a patent beginswhere the result list ends.
Searched too late.
The concept is already fixed – then a blocking patent shows up.
Read too much, understood too little.
50 hits are not yet a technical insight.
Reinvented what is known.
Published solution principles stay unused although they already address your problem.
From question to technical action.
Search the way engineers think.
The question can start in technical words. inventMAP supports research, search logic and classification – across patents and, if you like, research in parallel.
Turn documents into technical insight.
What is solved? How is it solved? Which functions, components and working principles matter? inventMAP turns documents into a technically usable context.
Turn knowledge into new development paths.
Adopt solution principles, spot technical white spots, break down blocking patents and develop alternative concepts.
A patent is not just summarized.It becomes technically actionable.
Claims, functions, components and solution principles remain connected in their technical context – turning a document into a working basis for engineering.
Actual inventMAP product view – technical patent analysis.
Design-around
One patent.17 technical alternatives.
A published patent claim is broken down technically and fanned out into different solution directions – from close design-arounds to other working principles and changes in the system's environment.
- same working principle
- modified working principle
- different working principle
- environment & supersystem
Traceable down to the source.
And this is what the solution space looks like in inventMAP.
Concepts stay connected to the patent features, their origin, assessment and technical distance from the claim.
Not every patent blocks.Many point to a path.
Discover solution principles
How have others solved the same or a similar problem?
Understand technology fields
Which players, working principles and technical directions shape the field?
Spot white spots
What is hardly addressed, or solved with other technical principles?
Enrich your own development
Relevant insights stay connected to problems, ideas and concepts in the inventMAP network.
Two knowledge worlds
Patents show established solution paths.Research shows the next ones.
inventMAP searches both knowledge worlds through the same technical question and connects the results into one shared solution space.
One problem.Two knowledge worlds.More solution space.
From result to direction
Individual results answer questions.The compass shows which directions are emerging in the field.
inventMAP condenses relevant patent and research results into technical directions. Statements stay connected to their sources – and a thin data basis stays visible too.
What becomes visible here as a direction can later continue in foresight and strategy.
This is what a direction looks like in the compass.
Each target picture carries its “why now” with evidence from the result set, first steps, risks – and, honestly, what the patent landscape does not show.
If the field moves,you should not notice six months later.
Searches can be kept under observation. New relevant publications are assessed and shown as a signal – instead of yet another unread result list.
Signals from patents and research can be reused in foresight and strategy.
- search saved
- new filing
- assessed: relevant
- new research paper
- signal into the radar
You ask technically.Gee works with the context.
Gee knows relevant patents, analyses and connections in the working context and helps to think technical questions further.
- „Which other working principles fulfil the same function?“
- „Which patents solve the problem without component X?“
- „What distinguishes these solution directions technically?“
Methodology in the background. Technical questions in the foreground.
From knowledge to action
Research usually ends with a result list.inventMAP carries it through to a technical decision.
What is found does not sit in a report. It is understood, developed further and updated again when new signals appear.
