Thinkstruct supports various types of patent analysis including invalidity searches, Infringement Monitoring, patent comparison, and claim mapping. Our AI-powered tools help you identify risks, overlaps, and opportunities in your patent portfolio.

Credits pay for searches and analysis, and each feature uses a fixed number of credits. Every operation asks you to confirm before charging any credits, and shows the exact amount it will cost. Purchased credits never expire and work across every feature.

Thinkstruct is built to deliver industry-leading accuracy in patent search and analysis. Unlike traditional tools that rely primarily on keywords or generic semantic similarity, our models are trained on more than 140,000 expert-labeled patent pairs to recognize the types of legal overlap that matter for novelty, invalidity, and patentability analysis.
