Visual representation

Left: every part and step, once. Right: constraints grouped by the element they describe — e.g. all constraints about S1 cluster together, connecting S1 to whatever it relates to.

Each section shows that part of the visualization followed by its table — a blank Notes column is included for your invalidity/infringement analysis.

About Demystify Patents

Why this exists

Patent claims are written in a dense, legally precise style that's hard to parse quickly — a single claim is often one long sentence packed with nested clauses, cross-references ("said server computer"), and relationships between parts and steps that are never spelled out explicitly. Demystify Patents uses an AI model (Claude) to break a claim down into simple, labeled pieces — Parts (the nouns/components), Steps (the actions), and Constraints (the relationships connecting them) — so you can see at a glance what a claim actually covers, before diving into a full legal analysis.

How to use it

  1. Enter Claim. Paste a single claim, including its preamble, into the text box. Optionally add the patent number — it'll appear in your exported file's title. Click Analyze.

    Step 1 — Enter Claim
  2. Review & Edit. The AI's breakdown appears as three editable lists — Parts, Steps, and Constraints. Fix anything that looks wrong, delete what doesn't belong, or add what's missing; every list is fully editable. Click Continue when you're happy with it.

  3. Visualize. Every Part and Step is listed on the left; on the right, Constraints are grouped by the element they describe — e.g. everything about "S1" clustered together, showing exactly what S1 connects to. Download the diagram as a PNG if you want to share it.

  4. Export Table. Switch between two views: Conceptual Breakup (the visualization plus tables, organized the same way as Step 3) and Claim Element Breakup (the claim split back into its original lines, cross-referenced with which Parts/Steps/Constraints belong to each — handy for converting the detailed analysis into a traditional claim-chart format). Download either view as a .docx or .pdf worksheet, each with a blank column for your own invalidity/infringement notes.

Disclaimer

Demystify Patents is a tool to help you read and understand patent claims more easily — it is not a substitute for legal advice.

The breakdown, visualization, and exported worksheets are generated by a large language model (LLM). LLMs can make mistakes: they may mislabel an element, miss a relationship, misinterpret ambiguous claim language, or produce a constraint that isn't actually supported by the claim text. Always cross-check the output against the original claim before relying on it.

Nothing produced by this tool constitutes legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. For any decision with legal, financial, or business consequences — including invalidity analysis, infringement analysis, prosecution strategy, or licensing — consult a qualified patent attorney.
