What you'll receive
Patent attorneys spend 8+ hours manually reviewing prior art references, extracting key disclosures, and mapping technical elements to patent claims. This time-intensive process delays prosecution timelines and increases costs while requiring repeated document review for each new analysis or office action response.

CaseMark automates prior art summarization by extracting publication details, identifying key technical disclosures, and mapping claim elements across multiple references in minutes. The AI delivers structured summaries with precise citations, enabling attorneys to quickly assess patentability and respond to office actions without repeatedly reviewing source documents.
This workflow is applicable across multiple practice areas and use cases
Prior art summarization is critical for patent infringement defense, invalidity challenges, and anticipation/obviousness arguments in IP litigation.
Patent litigation teams regularly analyze prior art to invalidate asserted patents, support non-infringement positions, and prepare expert testimony on patent validity.
Prior art summarization is essential for IP due diligence in M&A transactions to evaluate patent validity, assess infringement risks, and determine IP asset value.
M&A attorneys and their clients require thorough prior art analysis to identify potential patent invalidity issues that could affect deal valuation and structure.
Prior art analysis supports IP due diligence during investment evaluations to assess patent portfolio strength, validity risks, and freedom to operate for target companies.
VC and PE firms need to evaluate the strength and defensibility of patent portfolios when conducting technical and legal due diligence on potential investments in technology companies.
Prior art analysis supports IP asset valuation and risk assessment for IP-backed financing, securitization, and patent monetization transactions.
Corporate finance transactions involving IP assets require prior art review to assess patent strength and validity risks that impact collateral value and lending decisions.
CaseMark identifies references in non-English languages and flags them clearly in your summary. The AI provides translations of key technical passages where possible, ensuring you understand material disclosures regardless of the original language. This saves significant time compared to manually coordinating translations for foreign prior art.
Yes, CaseMark's prior art summarization supports freedom-to-operate analysis by extracting and organizing technical disclosures from multiple references. The comparative analysis section maps prior art elements to your technology, helping you identify potential blocking patents or clearance paths. The structured output serves as a foundation for detailed FTO opinions.
CaseMark processes issued patents, patent applications, technical publications, product documentation, academic papers, and other publicly available materials that constitute prior art under patent law. Simply upload your references in PDF or DOCX format, and the AI extracts publication details, technical disclosures, and relevant claim language from each document.
CaseMark provides precise citations to specific paragraphs, columns, lines, and figures in prior art references, which are essential for office action responses. The claim element mapping shows exactly where each reference discloses (or fails to disclose) elements of your invention, giving you a clear foundation for arguments on novelty and non-obviousness without re-reviewing entire documents.
No, CaseMark organizes and analyzes technical information but does not provide legal conclusions. The AI structures summaries to facilitate your analysis of novelty, obviousness, and analogous art under applicable patent law. You retain full control over legal strategy while benefiting from comprehensive, organized prior art data that would take hours to compile manually.
