What If Prior Art Had a Safety Net?
Last year, over 150 litigation teams used Global Patent Search as a second set of automated eyes, scanning 16.5 million documents across 16,729 searches to catch the references that change outcomes.
In 66% of those searches, GPS surfaced X-Reference prior art without any prompt, often catching what’s easy to miss when time is short and the stakes are high.
GPS worked as a safety layer for IP teams conducting FTO analysis, invalidity searches, and patentability assessments.
Missing literature from one market can derail protection in another. GPS provided access to 266,000 publications across patents and non-patent literature, covering 104 countries and the jurisdictions that matter most to global innovation.
It also searched across 450 million patent and research records kept continuously current, with 239 million new literature records added this year.
Claim chart generation is tedious, repetitive, and time-consuming. This year, GPS automatically generated 18,840 claim charts, absorbing the grunt work of mapping patents to claims so teams could focus on strategic analysis and decision-making instead of documentation.
Patent landscapes shift constantly. GPS evolved with them. Continuous improvements throughout 2025 made GPS more reliable, catching more gaps and surfacing stronger prior art without changing how teams already work.
