I’ve tried other AI powered patent search tools, and Derwent AI Search is hands down the best. With other patent search tools, you often need to review up to 50 or even 200 results to find the most relevant records. With Derwent AI Search, the most relevant records are at the top of the list, which helps me save a lot of time when evaluating patentability.
