Patent intelligence for R&D
Describe a problem or strategic gap in your own words. Induction searches the world's papers and patents, ranks the ones worth acquiring or licensing, and explains why each one fits, with the evidence to back it up.
{ The problem }
The patent you should own is already being licensed by a startup you've never heard of.
Challenge 01
Patents are invisible in their infancy
Thousands of patents publish every week across USPTO, EPO, WIPO, and JPO. The ones that will reshape an industry in three years look identical to the ones that won't, and standard alerts surface them only after a competitor has already cited them.
Challenge 02
Licensing signals leave faint traces
When a startup quietly licenses or builds on a patent, that is the strongest market evidence anyone will give you that it matters. But those signals live in small filings, hiring patterns, and product literature, not in any patent database.
Challenge 03
Strategic fit needs context, not a search
Knowing a patent exists is not the same as knowing it would close a gap in your portfolio, blunt a competitor, or shave years off a roadmap. That judgment requires reading the patent, the assignee, and your own R&D position together.
{ The platform }
Millions of sources, ranked for your portfolio.
Induction unifies every major patent jurisdiction with the scientific literature behind it, tracks each filing through its lifecycle, and surfaces the few whose acquisition would change your trajectory.
Layer 01
Unify millions of sources
Ingest patent filings from USPTO, EPO, WIPO, and JPO alongside the scientific literature behind them: arXiv, PubMed, grant disclosures, clinical trial registries. Reconcile across jurisdictions, link family members, and normalize into one searchable corpus.
Layer 02
Decompose into structured claims
Pull out claims, methods, results, and effect spans from every source. Separate what was demonstrated from what was speculated. Every extracted field carries the citation it came from, so every downstream judgment is auditable.
Layer 03
Track each patent's lifecycle
Follow filings through citations, licensing announcements, assignment changes, and the startups quietly building on them. Surface the moments that indicate a patent is gaining strategic weight, not just the moment it published.
Layer 04
Match to your portfolio
Rank candidates by fit against your existing patents, R&D roadmap, and competitive position. Each recommendation explains why acquiring or licensing it would close a gap, blunt a competitor, or shave years off a program.
{ Who it's for }
Built for pharma teams hunting their next R&D target.
Whether you're filling a pipeline gap, scouting in-licensing candidates, or sizing up a competitor's mechanism, Induction surfaces the assets worth taking to your next portfolio review, with the reasoning to defend each pick.
Pharma R&D leadership
Find external programs that close a pipeline gap or accelerate an internal one. Search by mechanism, indication, or modality and get back ranked patents and papers with the evidence behind each match.
Licensing & business development
Run scouting workflows across every major jurisdiction's filings and the scientific literature behind them. Surface in-licensing candidates before they reach a competitive sale process.
Corporate strategy & M&A
Track adjacent therapeutic spaces, competitor portfolios, and emerging mechanisms. Spot acquisition targets while they are still in academic labs or early-stage company hands.
Find your next R&D target.
Tell us a pipeline gap, a competitive concern, or the mechanism you want to own. We'll come back with the patents and papers worth taking to your next portfolio review, and the reasoning behind each pick.
