What the Team is Known For

Crane Patents is an AI-assisted patent analysis platform which automates the process of drawing up claim charts. Crane's customers include in-house IP teams and leading patent attorneys. Interviewees recommend the tool for prior art analysis and patent invalidity assessment workflows.

Strengths

Crane has proved to be a very helpful tool. The fact it has been tailored for very specific workflows which align with the patent analysis I do is great. The fact you can take a collection of prior art you've spent between zero and ten minutes with, let it chew, and get a quick sense of the shortcomings is really great. In the time I can pick up one or two patterns, Crane has already generated a claim chart.

Crane provides a quality product that significantly reduces the time spent on analysing prior art and drafting claim charts. Crane is particularly responsive to meeting the team's needs and answering questions, sometimes with additional features or changes to the product.

The tool is extremely easy to use and presents information in a very bite-size format. Crane is helping to fulfil the promise of AI, delivering savings to law firm clients, and allowing outside counsel to deliver more value to those clients. Crane Patents helps consolidate days into hours.

Crane Patents' strengths are its ease of use, the accuracy and customisation of the analysis within the platform and the responsiveness of the Crane team.
