Vectorisation as a Service:
AI-ready semantic embeddings for global patent dataVectorisation as a Service: AI-ready semantic embeddings for global patent data
Vectorisation-as-a-Service (VaaS) provides high-quality patent embeddings that enable true semantic understanding across the world’s largest harmonized patent corpus. Instead of relying on brittle keyword searches, VaaS uses specialist models to convert patent text into numerical vectors that reflect context, meaning, and technical similarity.
Why vectorisation matters for patent analysis
Traditional keyword search misses synonyms, evolving terminology, and subtle technical language; flooding analysts with noise. Semantic vectorisation solves this by grouping conceptually related inventions together, making it possible to detect relevant documents even when the exact words differ.
AI-ready vectors for advanced intellectual property workflows
Lighthouse IP’s VaaS powers a wide range of applications, including:
- High-recall semantic prior-art search;
- Technology landscape clustering and portfolio similarity scoring;
- SEP and standards analysis using supervised classifiers;
- Automated watching and opposition support;
- Licensing and infringement prospecting.
These vectors are aligned to Lighthouse IP’s clean bibliographic identifiers, legal-status information, and harmonized assignee entities, allowing teams to integrate semantic search directly into legal, R&D, and competitive-intelligence workflows.
Optimized for integration into AI pipelines
VaaS provides ready-to-use vector files, search indices, and optional custom training. All vectors are generated using Lighthouse’s fully harmonized global data, enabling seamless integration into patent search engines, knowledge graphs, scoring systems, and RAG architectures.
A scalable semantic foundation for enterprise IP teams
Whether you are building an internal AI search tool, enhancing due diligence, or automating discovery across millions of patents, VaaS provides the semantic backbone required to achieve speed, accuracy, and depth that keyword search alone cannot deliver.
The Lighthouse IP advantage
Our vectorisation pipeline is purpose-built on our patent data: delivering production-grade vectors, indices, and similarity scoring across ~100 million to 176 million patent records.
Faster answers. Fewer false positives. Stronger signals.
Give your IP, legal, and R&D teams the semantic foundation they need to automate discovery, accelerate analysis, and unlock AI-powered insight without the fragility of keyword taxonomies.
