Patentability, novelty, validity, and FTO
Find references and map them to claim limitations, passages, figures, citations, and family context.
View service catalog →Pertinent Prior-Art Discovery
Patent decisions demand evidence you can verify.
Pertinent prior-art discovery powers and enhances every aspect of IP work — patentability, validity, freedom-to-operate, monitoring, and white-space. Lambeth IP surfaces the right art and maps every reference to the claim limitation and the exact source passage it discloses, so you can see why each result is there — not just trust a score. Standalone, or as a verifiable enhancement to your existing search reports.

- Source passage evidence
- Figure and caption search
- Family and citation graph
- Monitoring filters
- White-space discovery
- Strict NDA & Confidentiality
- Data Isolation by Design
- US-Based Infrastructure

How it works
Follow one claim limitation through the evidence pipeline.
Every engagement is deterministic: each limitation is decomposed, mapped to source, checked against figures, and resolved into family and citation context — nothing is summarized away.
Claim 1 · limitation [c]
“…a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to generate a verifiable, source-linked evidence map.”
- 01
Decompose the limitation
Independent and dependent claims are broken into individual limitations — the atomic units a reference must disclose.
- 02
Map to the source passage
Each limitation is tied to the exact passage that discloses it — quoted, paragraph-cited, and linkable back to the reference.
- 03
Search figures & captions
Drawings and their captions are searched and matched, so disclosures that live in figures are never missed.
- 04
Resolve family & citations
References resolve into their patent families and forward/backward citation network, giving counsel the full context behind every hit.

Decision paths
Choose the service path for the decision in front of you.
Each engagement starts with a defined patent question and returns the evidence map needed for counsel, diligence, portfolio, or filing discussions.
Search Report Enhancement
Elevate static reports from your existing search firm by adding a layer of deterministic, passage-linked evidence.
White-space opportunity review
Separate crowded claim territory from areas that may deserve business and counsel review.
The deliverable
Evidence you can open, not a summary you have to trust.
Each limitation resolves to a quoted, paragraph-cited passage — traceable back to the reference. Below is an illustrative sample of one mapped element.

Security & confidentiality
Built for confidential IP work.
Your inventions, claims, and product roadmap stay protected at every step — the exposure in-house teams worry about most is engineered out, not promised away.
- Strict NDA and confidentiality terms before any sensitive material is exchanged
- Data isolation by design — your matter is never commingled
- US-based infrastructure
- Your data is never used to train third-party AI models
Independent attestations — SOC 2, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001 — pursued as your engagement requires.
Start with the patent question in front of you.
Every engagement begins with a defined question and returns a source-linked evidence map your counsel can verify. Tell us the scope; we'll tell you what's findable.
