Patent Genie

The patent search process can be a time-consuming and burdensome task for individuals and companies looking to research and protect their inventions.

The objective of this project is to create a mobile app that uses Ai technology to streamline the patent search process and make it more accessible and user-friendly for individuals and businesses. The app will allow users to quickly and easily search for patents and save and manage their search results.

Competitor Research

I conducted Capability Analysis for the Google Patents site and the Escapenet site as part of Competitor analysis on patent search tools.

I found that both the Google Patents site and the Escapenet site had strong search functionality, with the Google Patents site offering a more minimalist and straightforward design and the Escapenet site offering advanced search options such as filters and boolean search.

Competitor Research Insights

I found that both the Google Patents site and the Escapenet site had strong search functionality, with the Google Patents site offering a more minimalist and straightforward design and the Escapenet site offering advanced search options such as filters and boolean search.

The existing systems perform a great job in helping the users with manual search by providing all advanced search and filter options.

However, the manual search task is not so easy...

Requires huge effort
and time

Confusing advanced search
& filter options

Leaves users overwhelmed and unhappy

Conceptualisation

After analyzing the existing patent search solutions and considering the user frustrations and goals, I brainstormed and came up with a few concepts in a short duration.
