Run high-recall search across 148M documents to surface prior art, pressure-test claims, and pull out the strategic thread. Thornwell Chat lets you question the context behind each patent, so decisions land faster and hold up longer.
Mission
Search the full corpus and generate analysis precise enough to carry an invalidity proceeding.
Method
Semantic retrieval over full-text claims and specifications, re-ranked against your concept map rather than keyword overlap.
Impact
Teams cut first-pass search from 11 days to under 40 minutes and carry the citation trail straight into the filing.

In a flying-machine, a normally flat aeroplane having lateral marginal portions capable of movement to different positions above or below the normal plane of the body of the aeroplane, such movement being about an axis transverse to the line of flight, whereby said lateral marginal portions may be moved to different angles relatively to the normal plane of the body of the aeroplane, so as to present to the atmosphere different angles of incidence, and means for so moving said lateral marginal portions, substantially as described.
