Accurate legal context tuned per each legal question. Antecedint is a legal context supplier that takes legal questions and supplies accurate context tuned to the question being asked.
Antecedint provides prior-art retrieval, claim comparison, and §112 claim validation over 10.5M+ US patents. Typical flows: (1) search_prior_art to find the closest existing art for a claim; (2) get_patent_citations to see what an examiner actually cited against an application; (3) locate_in_patent_space / get_patent_neighborhood to explore the patent landscape around a technology; (4) check_antecedent_basis to find §112(b) antecedent-basis defects in a draft or filed claim set; (5) map_claim_support to ground every claim term in the specification — and, for a CIP or continuation, in the parent specifications, which is what decides whether a term is new matter. Before the first search_prior_art or locate_in_patent_space of a session, call warm_up (free, unmetered): the encoder scales to zero after about 15 idle minutes on the evaluation tier, and the first search after that loads the models inside the call, about 75s. A held warm instance is provisioned for contracted tiers only; warm_up reports which tier you are on and whether one is held for you.
