The licensable IP your team can’t surface today.
Lattice is a semantic patent-search engine for pharma licensing, business development, and IP teams. We index every U.S. pharma patent and rank results by how closely they match what you’re actually looking for — not just the keywords you happened to type.
What we do
Traditional patent search rewards the person who guesses the right keywords and classification codes. That leaves enormous value buried: the asset described in different language, filed under an adjacent CPC code, or held by an owner you weren’t watching. Lattice takes a different approach. We embed the full text of every patent in the corpus — claims, abstracts, and descriptions — and search by meaning, so the right asset surfaces even when its wording doesn’t match yours.
Every result is ranked by semantic relevance and enriched with the two facts a licensing conversation actually starts from: who owns it now and whether it appears to be available.
Targeted at pharma, not everything
The corpus is deliberately scoped to U.S. pharma patents — primarily CPC classes A61K (medicinal preparations), A61P (therapeutic activity), and C07K (peptides and antibodies), plus the adjacent classes that show up on real pharma filings. We don’t try to cover hardware, software, materials, or energy. That focus is what lets the rankings stay sharp: when you search for a GLP-1 receptor agonist, you get ranked pharma matches, not landscape noise from unrelated fields.
Inside that scope, coverage is complete: every grant, every assignee, every claim. If your roadmap touches a therapeutic area, mechanism, or modality that’s seen any U.S. patent activity, it’s in.
Who it’s for
- Licensing & BD teams hunting for assets that fill a pipeline gap or strengthen a position.
- IP & legal teams running landscape, freedom-to-operate, and prior-art searches that can’t afford to miss the obvious-in-hindsight result.
- Strategy & R&D leaders mapping who owns what in a fast-moving technology area.
How the search works
You describe what you’re looking for in plain language — a problem, a capability, a description of the asset you wish existed. Lattice reads that the way a person would and searches the corpus by meaning rather than exact terms, then ranks what comes back by how closely it fits your intent. Each result arrives with the ownership and availability context you need to decide whether it’s worth a conversation, so you spend your time on assets that matter instead of on query syntax.
