Patent AI is easier to evaluate as judgment criteria and checklists than as feature tours. This page is the entrance to Patenty’s Market Intelligence series: how to choose a tool, how to compare prior art by element, what to freeze before an office-action draft, what tends to drop when you convert a specification into US or PCT form—and what still breaks when you extend the family to EP or CN.
Claim scope, response strategy, and the final wording of rights remain the attorney’s (or agent’s) call. The pieces below are practice frames that support that judgment. They do not promise patentability or allowance.
Recommended reading order
The dependencies are simple.
- Choose — Buying criteria for a patent AI workspace (I1)
- Compare art — Element-by-element prior-art matrix (I2)
- Prosecute — Office-action response checklist (I3)
- Convert — US/PCT translation omission checklist (I4)
- EP/CN extension — EP/CN conversion gaps (I6)
I1 builds the eye for source evidence, matter continuity, and human review. I2 applies that eye to prior-art cells. I3 carries the same matrix and claim history into office actions. I4 checks whether limitations survive jurisdiction conversion. I6 adds EP/CN form and practice checkpoints after I4. If you already have a question, jump from the AEO question map (I5).
I1 — Selection: seven buying criteria
Problem. General LLMs, search databases, drafting/intelligence AI, and matter workspaces land in the same shortlist.
You get. A checklist—no brand scorecard—that separates tools by passage-level evidence, matter records, OA continuity, jurisdiction conversion, data policy, and attorney final review.

I2 — Prior art: element × reference matrix
Problem. “AI says similar” is not enough to fix differentiation or claim scope.
You get. Rows = invention elements, columns = references, cells = mapping plus a clickable source passage—and a clear split from dispute/licensing claim charts.
Link. Element-by-element prior-art matrix
I3 — Office actions: before/after checks
Problem. When filing context, cited passages, and claim versions live elsewhere, the OA draft becomes another orphan chat.
You get. Freeze facts → open cited passages → align claim history → choose strategy options → then generate; then human review and a record.

I4 — Translation: limitation survival in US/PCT conversion
Problem. Fluent English can still swallow numbers, optional vs mandatory language, figure references, and dependency chains.
You get. An omission-type checklist and a short post-conversion review protocol. EP/CN extension is I6.

I6 — EP/CN: form and language extras
Problem. Limitations that survived US/PCT can still drop when the family extends to EP or CN—form, language, and claim habits add another layer.
You get. EP/CN form and practice checkpoints on top of I4 limitation survival (not a paste of I4).

30-second diagnostic
Use the stuck point as the entry.
| Question | Go to |
|---|---|
| General LLM vs search platform vs workspace—what should I evaluate? | I1 buying criteria |
| Are prior-art hits stored as elements + passages? | I2 matrix |
| Does OA drafting share the same matter context? | I3 OA checklist |
| After conversion, do limitations and numbers still match the source? | I4 omission checklist |
| Adding EP/CN or another family jurisdiction—form or practice gaps? | I6 EP/CN |
For short, citable answers first, open the question map (I5).
Soft CTA
If the job is vendor evaluation, start with I1. On the translation axis, continue from I4 into I6 when useful. If you want to see how prior-art compare, specification, review, and jurisdiction convert sit in one matter, request a Patenty demo or plans walkthrough. Filing and claim scope still belong to the attorney.
