Built for how patent professionals actually work
Six workflows, one analysis platform
Trace adapts to the way your team already works. Every use case is backed by structured claim-to-evidence mapping with source citations and match strength indicators.
Pre-litigation assessment
Evaluate case strength before committing resources
Generate initial claim chart drafts quickly to assess whether patent claims read on target products. Identify strong and weak elements early, helping you make informed decisions about pursuing litigation.
Licensing & monetization
Build evidence packages for licensing discussions
Identify overlaps between your patents and target products to support licensing negotiations. Create structured evidence packages that clearly demonstrate where claims are practiced.
Competitive monitoring
Scan products against your key claims
Proactively monitor competitor products and technologies against your patent portfolio. Spot potential infringement early and stay informed about competitive overlap.
Portfolio triage
Prioritize patents with practical read-on
Evaluate which patents in your portfolio have the strongest read-on to products in the market. Focus maintenance and enforcement resources on patents that matter.
Outside counsel collaboration
Share structured drafts for faster review cycles
Provide outside counsel with organized claim chart drafts rather than raw materials. Enable faster review cycles and clearer communication about case strategy.
Due diligence support
