EXPLAIN THIS PATENT · WAYS TO EXPLORE

The same source.
A clearer way in.

Choose the explanation that fits your question and your level of familiarity. Use these examples in your brief or follow-up question.

EXAMPLE QUESTION

Start with the idea.

Explain what this patent describes, the problem it addresses and the main idea in everyday language.

A clear explanation with technical terms defined and links to the passages behind it.

A focused explanation follows the standard question price. A guided patent explanation costs 5 credits. Dedicated visual briefings will be quoted separately.

THE PATENTORACLE READING
  1. 610 / Controller

    The controller chooses.

    It may choose an active subset and a reference subset, then perform a measurement test using both. EEG is one example.

  2. 608 / Electrode carrier

    The carrier connects.

    The hatched carrier holds the electrodes and may electrically couple them to the controller. The description names a flex or microaxial cables.

  3. 604a–604h / Active electrodes

    Eight active electrodes.

    These eight contacts form the active group shown here. The controller may select one or more; the drawing does not identify a chosen subset.

  4. 606a–606c / Reference electrodes

    Three reference electrodes.

    A reference subset is also selected. The measurement uses the selected active and reference subsets together.

VISUAL EXPLAINERS · BY AGREED SCOPE

Make the mechanism visible.

A focused visual briefing built around the figures that explain the patent best. Keep the original beside a clearly labelled explanation, with a component key and a short sequence showing how the system works.

  1. The original figurePublication, figure number and source page stay visible.
  2. Our annotationsFollow numbered callouts on the original drawing, with its geometry and reference labels preserved. Switch to the untouched view at any time.
  3. The explanationConnect each component and step to supporting patent passages.

Choose the question, level of detail and number of figures first. A multi-page visual explainer is quoted separately from a standard Q&A answer; it is not yet available through self-service checkout.

$55 credits / explanation

One research credit = US$1. Top-ups: $10 or $25. No subscription required.

These prices cover focused questions on searchable sources. Substantial OCR, exhaustive document review or a broader investigation receives a separate quote before any charge.

Routine PDF-to-text extraction is included. Reusing text already in your library won’t carry another preparation fee.

Single-patent explanations, answers and two-to-six-patent investigations are available in Studio. Bespoke visual briefings are quoted separately.

One patent. Or a useful comparison.

Choose one publication for a guided explanation or focused question. Search its full available text, including material beyond the passages selected for your report. Choose two to six prepared publications in the Studio for a single investigation with original figures, individual source records and documented connections.

Ask what a claim requires, where a measurement is described, or how two designs differ. An answer should give you the relevant wording and a clear route to inspect it.

Long documents need the right question.

A 200-page patent does not mean sending 200 pages to AI for every answer. A focused question can retrieve relevant sections and their surrounding context. Page count alone does not determine the price.

Reviewing every page, preparing substantial scanned material or investigating a broad subject is a different scope. You receive a separate quote before any charge. The agreed review will not be silently shortened to fit a standard answer.

Your sources stay within reach.

Each answer includes supporting passages and publication/page references, with source gaps identified. Follow-up questions stay attached to the publications selected for that conversation.

Q&A is optional. Reading your report and downloading its included evidence remain covered by your existing access terms. Create an account, add research credits and confirm your reading plan. No invitation is required.
