AI Features

AI that works inside your FTO workflow, not alongside it.

Every claim reviewed, every reason it cleared, every escalation and how it resolved, kept in one structure, so your next review starts there instead of starting over.

FirstPass™

From manual screen to a structured, automated first read

A preliminary FTO review that compares your product description against each independent claim across a list of patent documents, turning a long manual screen into a structured first read, with every call tied back to the specific claim that drove it.

‍

Claim-by-claim, per-product determinations with risk levels and labels assessed independently for each product across the whole patent list in a single run.
Highlighted claim language that pinpoints the exact wording behind each determination.
Comment suggestions you can accept or reject, so the AI drafts while you stay in control.
Open questions raised only where they matter, and flagged just when an answer would actually change the determination, risk, or labels.
Clustering of repeated issues - the same question across many patents is grouped so you answer once and clear it everywhere it appears.
Answer individually or in bulk, with each question linked back to its source claim and highlighted language..
Re-run the analysis on the implicated patents so resolved answers flow into a fresh, refined assessment.
Clear status and audit trail to easily see what's outstanding versus addressed, and how each answer changed the outcome.

Open Question Resolution

Answer once. Clear it everywhere.

The unresolved issues FirstPass™ surfaces become a managed worklist. Answer them one at a time or in bulk, and feed those answers back to re-run the analysis across every implicated patent, so conclusions sharpen with each pass instead of living in someone's notes.

Clarise, the In-App AI Assistant

Ask in plain language. Get it handled.

An in-app FTO assistant fitted with dozens of tools. Ask in plain language and it handles administrative work, deeper analysis, prosecution-history research, and file handling, operating on your live data and within your own permissions.

‍

Prosecution-history lookup and analysis to pull and interpret file-wrapper documents on demand.
Claim cleanup and enhanced manual addition with single-click AI cleanup and optional translation of foreign claims
Retrieve patent claims and bibliographic data, batch-fetch a whole list, add patents to a review, and reuse prior reviews of the same patent instead of reprocessing.
Open and handle attached documents, images, and figures so the full context behind a review is in the conversation.
Update reviews and determinations, manage tags, and organize open questions and clusters.
Connect your chosen AI client (such as Claude) and query live FTO data in natural language, including reviews, open questions, flagged patents, and review history.
Read and write your records and add patents to a review, answer and organize open questions, manage clusters, and update reviews, just as you would in the app.
Pull in supporting material including patent details, prosecution documents, and attached files and images.
Secure and scoped by design with every connection confined to your own permissions within your organization, and records are referred to by the names and IDs you use, not internal identifiers.

MCP Connector

Bring your own AI client.

Many of the in-app assistant's tools are also accessible through the MCP connector, a secure bridge built on the open Model Context Protocol that lets you connect your AI client and pull live FTO data into your own tools and workflows.
