Question 1

What is Pathub?

Accepted Answer

Pathub is an AI agent platform purpose-built for patent prosecution. It automates bulk 102/103/112 invalidity analysis, generates evidence-backed claim charts, and runs semantic prior art search across all claims simultaneously — built specifically for patent agents and attorneys.

Question 2

How are Pathub's claim charts different from other AI tools?

Accepted Answer

Most AI patent tools produce paraphrased summaries. Pathub's claim charts link every finding to the exact paragraph in the source patent (e.g., [0032]). This evidence traceability is essential for office action responses, IPR petitions, and client deliverables that require verifiable citations.

Question 3

Can I use Pathub output in IPR petitions?

Accepted Answer

Pathub's claim charts are structured for professional use and include direct source citations. However, all output is intended as first-pass analysis for attorney review — not final legal opinion. Attorneys should verify all citations before filing.

Question 4

How does multi-claim search work?

Accepted Answer

Traditional prior art search processes one claim at a time. Pathub analyzes your entire claim set simultaneously, identifies references that cover multiple claims, and ranks prior art by overall coverage — helping you find the strongest invalidity positions faster.

Question 5

What does §103 combination analysis include?

Accepted Answer

For obviousness analysis, Pathub evaluates primary and secondary reference combinations using TSM (Teaching-Suggestion-Motivation) factors, Graham v. John Deere factors, and KSR International rationale — the same frameworks used by USPTO examiners.
