Every answer is verifiable.
Claims are cited to a document, a passage and a date. If the evidence is unclear, the answer says so instead of guessing.

Patent Mechanics builds software that answers patent questions the way an experienced analyst would: from the full patent record, claim by claim, with every statement traceable to its source.

Patent Mechanics is founded and run by Rahul Venkatraj, who designed and built the platform.
Founder & CEO
Rahul Venkatraj
Rahul founded Patent Mechanics to give patent teams search and analysis that reads claims the way an experienced practitioner does, with every answer traceable to the source document.
Before Patent Mechanics, Rahul worked on AI and computing infrastructure at Google, database infrastructure at Microsoft, and machine learning at C3 AI.
Rahul designed and built the platform end to end: the patent index, the search and claim-screening pipeline, the chat application and the API.

How we build.
Your questions stay yours.
What you search reveals what you are building. Prompts and answers are never used to train models, and conversations are deleted after 90 days.
Software to assist experts.
The platform does the reading. Decisions that need a registered practitioner are flagged as such, at the exact question that needs one.
