Ask anything.
Get intelligence
you can act on.
Ask a question in plain language. Get back structured analysis, competitive intelligence, and IP strategy. In seconds, not days.
Search returns data.
Hiro returns answers.
Boolean search, semantic search, natural language search. Each was a step forward. Hiro is what happens when the step is intelligence itself.
Hiro doesn’t replace the rigour of Boolean search. It absorbs it, so you don’t have to.
Three layers.
One conversation.
Hiro brings together domain expertise, advanced reasoning, and proprietary data. Ask a question. Get a structured answer. No syntax, no workflows to learn, no steps to sequence. Everything you know and trust in Patsnap Analytics, reimagined end to end with AI.
IP and R&D expertise built in
A curated library maps your question to the right workflow automatically. Users without deep IP backgrounds get the same quality of output as seasoned practitioners.
Powered by Claude
Anthropic’s Claude acts as the orchestration engine, interpreting complex legal and technical language and routing every query to the right combination of tools and data.
Grounded in real innovation data
208M patents, 215M NPL documents, 1.6B legal data points, cleaned, normalized, and structured. Every answer is built on a foundation generic AI can’t access.
One tool.
Unlimited workflows.
A few of the ways IP and R&D teams are already using Hiro.
Predict where a competitor moves next
Analyse filing signals, spot weak patterns in recent activity, and surface patent tripwires that reveal emerging R&D direction before it becomes obvious.
Full IP commercialisation strategy in one session
From landscape to go-to-market IP strategy, tailored for founders and R&D teams who need expert-level output without expert-level IP knowledge.
Build an IPR petition from a patent number
Analyse claims for vulnerability across novelty, obviousness, indefiniteness, and Alice-Mayo grounds, then draft specific opposition arguments and prior art search angles.
Find continuation candidates in minutes
Identify paragraphs in a patent’s detailed description that don’t map to any claim, surfacing coverage gaps and continuation opportunities that manual review would take days to find.
Turn patent expiry into an opportunity pipeline
Identify high-quality patents expiring soon, whether they were ever commercialised, and which active patents still need designing around. Proven ideas, legally reusable.
Stress-test a portfolio for weaknesses
Identify which technical domains are overprotected, where the exploitable gaps are, and where to focus filing strategy to expand claims without prior art pushback.
Map patents to real-world products and features
Map patents directly to specific product features and technologies to uncover competitive coverage, infringement risk, and whitespace. Understand who owns critical innovation around specific components without manually piecing together complex landscapes.
Combine patent and regulatory signals for whitespace
Identify whitespace by overlaying upcoming regulatory changes with patent filing gaps. Develop technologies that solve future challenges before competitors see the opportunity.
Know when whitespace is a trap, not an opportunity
Not all whitespace is worth pursuing. Some areas are empty because the market failed, the science didn’t work, or a dominant player has quietly designed the space out. Hiro helps you tell the difference before committing R&D spend.
From days of manual work
to minutes of conversation.
The same competitive analysis workflow, before and after Hiro.
Not another search tool.
A thinking partner.
The question is what your team does with it.
