Two thousand results.
Twelve that could actually stop you.
IP8 maps patent claims against what your product does, then sorts every result into Blocking Candidate, Potentially Blocking, Relevant – Non-Blocking or Background so that clearance review starts with the patents that could change the launch decision.
Similarity is the wrong question
for clearance.
Engineering is three months from shipping. The search comes back with two thousand technically related active patents. Nobody has the budget for the next step.
IP8 works from the claims outward: find broadly, then test the relevant claims against what the product actually includes, then rank by what could genuinely block.
A clearance workflow,
not a result list.
Turn product specifications into an evidence-backed launch position.
Four groups instead of
one ranked list.
A conventional search hands you a monolithic score. IP8 organizes patents by what they mean for your clearance and launch decision.
The output is not the search.
It is where to focus next.
From "here are the patents" to "here is what could matter, and why."
Bring the next patent decision to IP8.
Find the risk that matters before you launch. Separate real blockers from technical relevance. Put professional review where it can change the outcome.
