# Patent Prior Art Search for Contract Managers

> AI runs the search across USPTO, EPO, and Ironclad, ranks hits by claim-overlap relevance, summarizes each, and builds the search report — attorney starts from a triaged list, not a raw dump.

## The Problem

Prior art searches for Commercial Contracts matters take days in Ironclad, and the attorney still has to read every hit to judge relevance.

## What We Build

AI runs the search across USPTO, EPO, and Ironclad, ranks hits by claim-overlap relevance, summarizes each, and builds the search report — attorney starts from a triaged list, not a raw dump.
