Overview

About

An MCP service for intellectual property search and analysis, providing unified novelty search, invention FTO analysis, and design FTO analysis. Novelty search: Performs novelty searches based on technical solutions, invention disclosures, or claim text, and returns step results including summaries, feature extraction, candidate patents, comparisons, and reports. Invention FTO analysis: Assesses freedom-to-operate risk for product or technical implementation descriptions, with filters such as country, application date, legal status, and assignee. Design FTO: Performs design risk search and analysis based on a single product or design image.

Capabilities

novelty_search

Searches the novelty of a technical solution, invention disclosure, or claim text using text and optional images. Asynchronous tasks can be queried with get_task.

Arguments
output

Optional response controls, for example, use output.rows to limit the number of normalized result rows.

input* Requiredobject

Novelty-search subject; text is the primary content and images are optional supplements.

execution

Optional execution settings supporting asynchronous task execution or real-time streaming progress updates.

search

Optional search strategy for channels such as semantic, boolean, paper, and web.

task_id

Optional task ID; generated automatically when absent. Use the returned task_id for asynchronous queries.

get_task

Returns the status and result of an asynchronous task. overview provides a status summary; detail includes step and result details.

/mcp

fto_review

Reviews patent infringement risk for a product or technical implementation with country, application-date, legal-status, and assignee filters. search.mode supports lite screening and pro analysis; asynchronous tasks can be queried with get_task.

/mcp

design_fto

Reviews design-patent risk from a product or design image with country, application-date, legal-status, and Locarno-classification filters. Only the first input.images item is used; asynchronous tasks can be queried with get_task.
