Patent Research AI
Viewpoint matrix in 30 seconds, structured report in 10 minutes.
Designed for chemistry / materials R&D and IP teams who need cross-domain depth in their patent research.
Your research partner
Snorbe brings public papers, patents and news together with the internal documents your team has been sitting on — all in the same knowledge graph. The latest research, the timing of filings, prior investigation results, and what nobody has connected yet are visible in one view.
Trusted by leading R&D and IP teams
Capabilities
Search, analyze, integrate and automate — through a knowledge-graph-native research agent.
Bring papers, patents and internal documents into a single graph and see adjacent research at a glance.
Organize patents and papers along Technology × Application or Problem × Solution in 30 seconds. Export to Excel / CSV.
From the distribution of existing research and patents, surface under-explored regions automatically.
Humans review the plan, the report and the matrix before final actions. AI broadens, people decide.
Deploy on-prem with Docker. Keep unpublished filings and confidential documents inside your perimeter.
Switch between snorbe-fast / medium / quality to balance speed, cost and depth per task.

Built for IP and R&D
Track who searched what and when. RBAC controls cross-team visibility.
Every response carries source links — one click to the original page.
Deploy via Docker Compose. Keep unfiled inventions and confidential information off the public internet.
Industry-tailored viewpoint axes for chemistry, materials, semiconductors and pharma — search queries are built automatically by the AI.

Use Cases
Integrate sulfide electrolyte, coating layers and interface resistance research with patents. Detect untouched combinations of electrode material × manufacturing process as white space. Hypothesis-building finishes in 30 minutes.
From the invention description, extract recommended search keywords, prior art domains and novelty/inventive-step concerns. Use the output directly as discussion notes when consulting an attorney.
Combine public patents, papers and startup data to build a Market × Technology × Competitor map. Reuse the output as evidence in investment review.
Patent-search-focused AI shines at patent-execution — search and claim drafting. Snorbe sits upstream, helping you decide what to investigate by unifying papers, patents and internal docs in a single knowledge graph.
IP-execution AI excels at the breadth of IP workflow functionality — prior-art search, infringement prediction, claim drafting. Snorbe's differentiator is cross-domain integration with papers and internal docs, plus automatic white-space detection.
Yes. We support Docker-based on-prem deployment with workspace / RBAC settings, audit logging and enterprise security review — going one step beyond T Inc.'s 'queries never leave' guarantee.
Yes. From $20 / mo for individuals, with team plans available. New sign-ups get free credits so you can try Snorbe first; for continued use you move to a subscription.
You can. We publish a free first-pass screening tool (no signup needed). For continuous use we recommend running Snorbe itself.
