Overview

Patsnap is an intelligence platform for intellectual property, research and development, and life sciences teams. Its Eureka product is a set of AI agents that work over the company’s own patent, literature, chemical and biosequence data, which the site describes as more than 200 million patents across 174 jurisdictions. The company says more than 18,000 organizations use it, and that each answer traces back to its source.

The agents are grouped by job. IP Search Agents run novelty, freedom-to-operate and design searches and write the reports. IP Drafting Agents produce invention disclosures, claims and office action responses. Engineering agents apply TRIZ to return structured solution routes, and life sciences agents extract compounds, targets and activity values from patents into one table. An Intelligence Suite adds Analytics, Synapse, Bio and Chemical search products, and an Open Platform exposes the data as REST APIs, MCP servers and embeddable widgets.

Eureka has a 14-day free trial with 10,000 credits and no credit card, plus free Basic tiers with limited daily usage. On the US pricing page the Pro plans are shown at $100, $200 and $400 a month depending on the product area, with a discount for yearly billing, and Enterprise is quoted by sales.
