Claim space that actually exists before competitors get there.
Patent Whitespace Discovery
Cross-join 13M+ material structures against 306K patent claims to surface compositions that are stable, synthesizable from known routes, and completely absent from the patent corpus — real white space, not noise. Endpoint: GET /v1/discovery/patent-whitespace.

What goes in
Inputs this feature expects
- Target application domain or composition family
- Optional property filters (band gap, conductivity, CTE, etc.)
- Existing provisional or granted patent portfolio for context
What comes out
Outputs your team can act on
- Compositions confirmed stable, synthesizable, and unpatented
- Patent landscape heatmap showing crowded vs. open regions
- Evidence package supporting each whitespace candidate
Workflow
How teams use Patent Whitespace Discovery
01
Map the landscape
Lattice Graph queries the full patent corpus for all claims overlapping the target composition family.
02
Filter for technical viability
Only thermodynamically stable and experimentally synthesized candidates survive to the whitespace report.
03
Prioritize by commercial relevance
Whitespace candidates are ranked by market TAM, strategic fit, and number of blocking claims avoided.
Best fit
Where this feature adds the most leverage
- Startups and university TTO offices seeking defensible first filings
- Corporate IP teams looking to extend patent moats into adjacent spaces
- Investors performing pre-term-sheet technical diligence
