What Orbit Intelligence is
Orbit Intelligence is web-based intellectual property software for patent research and analytics. Its database contains more than 100 million patents, 17 million designs and 150 million non-patent-literature records, with coverage of patent offices representing more than 99.7% of the world's patent applications. More than 97% of the collection is in English, natively or through pre-translation. The Sophia assistant turns natural-language questions into Boolean searches and can adjust search criteria such as keywords, jurisdictions, inventors, assignees, dates and status. Search tools include semantic and similarity search, patent or family searches, visual analysis and guided use-case analysis. The platform also supports claim analysis, clustering, portfolio tracking and alerts. Users can customize graphs, create presentations, export analyses to PowerPoint, set workflows and share results. Analysis limits vary by plan; the product page lists a maximum of 2 million live records and 30,000 saved records. Orbit is cloud-deployed, and pricing is available on request.
