SallyIP vs patent AI tools (2026)

Several good tools draft patents or search prior art. The differences that matter: workflow breadth, verification mechanics, data handling and whether anyone publishes measurements.

Dimension	Typical patent AI tool	SallyIP
Workflows	Drafting or search, rarely both plus prosecution	Prior art, novelty, FTO, drafting with 101/112 screens, OA response, claim QA, families, timelines
Patent data	Varies; official-source integrations (EPO, EUIPO, USPTO) differ by vendor	EPO, EUIPO, USPTO and CourtListener integrations with honest unavailable-provider reporting
Evidence traceability	Draft output with light citations	Limitation-level mapping, citation ledger, verification desk, audit trails
Benchmark transparency	Marketing scores or nothing	Mechanical rates with n/d/model/date published, failures included (benchmarks)

Plain advice: evaluate any patent tool on a blind prior-art test and an office-action redraft, then ask for its miss rates in writing. Ours are on the benchmarks page — including the blocked release.
