What it is
Orbit Intelligence is web-based intellectual property software for patent research and analytics, intended for IP specialists, legal professionals, and top management. Its database includes more than 100 million patents, 17 million designs, and 150 million non-patent-literature records. Covered patent offices represent more than 99.7% of the world’s patent applications, and over 97% of the collection is in English natively or through pre-translation. Sophia, the platform’s AI assistant, turns natural-language questions into Boolean search queries and can refine criteria such as keywords, jurisdictions, inventors, assignees, dates, and status. Search tools include similarity search, patent or family searches, visual analysis, and guided use-case analysis. Users can create presentations, customize graphs, export analyses to PowerPoint, set workflows, and share results. The platform also supports portfolio tracking, monitoring alerts, and patent-family analysis. Analysis limits vary by plan: the listed options range from 100,000 to 2,000,000 records for live analysis and 15,000 to 30,000 for saved analysis. Pricing is available on request. Questel lists technical support in more than 10 languages, training, onboarding, and webinars.
