Statim - Enhanced Patent Analysis Tools

Statim is a browser extension designed to enhance the patent research and analysis workflow on Google Patents. It provides a suite of tools to help you quickly understand the scope of claims, navigate between patents, and get high-level summaries of complex documents.

Features

• Movable Pinned Claims: Pin any patent claim to a movable, resizable window that floats over the page, keeping key information in view while you scroll.
• Simple Search with Contextual Filtering: Select any text within the pinned claim to instantly perform a search. The description pane will automatically be filtered to show only the paragraphs containing your selected keywords.
• AI-Powered Scope Analysis: For a deeper analysis, use the "Check Scope (AI)" button. The AI will read the relevant portions of the description and highlight the sentences that are conceptually related to your selected phrase.
• AI-Generated Summaries: Get up to speed on any patent instantly. The "Summarize (AI)" button provides a concise, one-paragraph summary of the patent's core invention.
• Patent List Navigator: Load a list of patent numbers through the extension's popup. A navigator bar will then appear on the patent page, allowing you to seamlessly move between documents with "Next" and "Prev" buttons.
• Secure Backend: All AI features are processed through a secure backend server, ensuring that your entered information is never exposed on the client-side.
