Ambercite is an AI-assisted patent search platform that finds and ranks patents related to one or more starting patents.
What Ambercite is
Ambercite is an AI-assisted patent search platform that finds and ranks patents related to one or more starting patents. Ambercite Ai uses deep-learning and network algorithms across a database described as containing more than 106 million patents and 175 million citations. AmberScope maps and clusters related patents that cite one another. The tools support prior art searches, licensing, patent landscaping and portfolio benchmarking, and can complement existing patent databases or be used independently. Ambercite lists corporations, patent examination offices, IP firms, analysts and searchers among its intended users; AmberScope can also help R&D teams and business owners who are less familiar with Boolean searches or technical class codes. The 21-day trial provides access to both tools, with no payment or credit card required. It allows 20 searches, accepts up to three input patents and shows up to 25 results, with five additional results randomly obscured. Trial results can be shared but not exported to Excel. Paid subscriptions are annual, with pricing determined by organizational factors and portfolio or user needs.
