Before six months of R&D investment:
has this already been done?
An intake-stage similarity check that surfaces external prior art and internal parallel projects in one batch run.
R&D organisations run multiple parallel innovation projects. Without systematic prior art checking at the project intake stage, teams invest months of engineering time on concepts that are already patented, already published, or already running in parallel internally. De-duplication is the earliest intervention point ... and the cheapest.
It's the quarterly innovation portfolio review. Your team is presenting 12 new R&D projects, six months of work each. Halfway through, you realise project 4 and project 9 are essentially the same technology, built by different teams in different sites. Six months × 2 teams = a year of engineering capacity spent twice on the same answer.
Before Kwintely vs With Kwintely
Teams already using Kwintely for De-duplication of Innovation Projects
From description to result in three steps
Input project descriptions
Paste project briefs, technical summaries, or invention disclosures. Multiple projects can be submitted in batch.
Check against 295M+ documents and your portfolio
Each project is context-matched against the external corpus and optionally against your internal patent portfolio.
Receive similarity report
Each project scored by similarity to existing art ... sorted from most to least novel ... with top prior art identified per project.
Four artifacts, one search
Per-batch similarity CSV
Each project ranked from most to least novel, with similarity scores against the external corpus.
Portfolio-overlap heatmap
Internal redundancy at a glance, which projects map to which existing IP.
Project intake recommendation
File / re-scope / abandon, per project, supports the stage-gate decision.
Archived results history
Searchable record of all intake decisions, your portfolio's prior art memory.
What teams ask before they sign.
Can I check projects against my own internal patent portfolio too?
Yes, Kwintely supports a private corpus alongside the public 295M+ index. Your invention disclosures, internal R&D project briefs, and existing patent portfolio can all be added as a private layer. Each new project is scored against both the external corpus and your internal record.
Is the output ready for counsel review?
Every result includes the source document, publication date, similarity score, and the relevant passage quoted verbatim. The output is structured the way an associate-led search would be: ranked, cited, exportable. The AI is a mapping engine; the documents it surfaces are real. Counsel still makes the legal call; Kwintely does the search and citation prep.
How does this fit with my existing patent firm?
Most teams run Kwintely before engaging counsel, to scope the work and narrow the candidate set, then walk into the review with the search prep already done. Counsel spends their hours on judgement and the legal opinion, not on assembling the candidate list.
What about pricing and lock-in?
Three ways to work with Kwintely: the self-serve SaaS platform, scoped research-service projects where our team runs the analysis for you, or the API and MCP data layer for your own tools. Full output runs on a paid plan, the free tier is for trying basic searches, not complete deliverables. See the pricing page for current plans and terms.
Run the experiment, not the procurement.
Set up your private portfolio layer in a 15-minute call. We'll show you how the next batch screening works.
Counsel still signs off
Kwintely produces the structured search; your firm keeps ownership of the legal opinion. Nothing about your existing relationship has to change.
Run it on a real case
Pick the technology you'd already pay counsel to clear. Compare what Kwintely returns against what your firm would charge for. Decide on the second case, not the first.
No lock-in
Free tier covers the first basic experiment. Full output on paid plans. Fixed monthly fee on the way up. The cost of the test is one search.
