Problem

When semiconductor design companies review their patent portfolios and analyze competitor patents in response to Chinese firms' technology catch-up, a patent attorney charges 2–4 hours and $375–$750 per patent claim analysis. Analyzing dozens of patents at once costs tens of thousands of dollars and takes several months.

Solution

Collects publicly available patent data from Korean (KIPO), US (USPTO), and Chinese (CNIPA) patent offices, uses LLM to auto-parse patent claims and visualize claim charts by technical element, automatically compares overlap with competitor patents, and highlights design-around points.

Target: Patent managers and patent attorneys at 10–50 employee semiconductor fabless and IP companies
Revenue Model: Per Transaction: $37.50 per single patent analysis, Monthly Subscription: $217/month (includes 20 patents/month), competitor comparison Report add-on $75 per report
Ecosystem Role: Supplier
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
