Find the competitors you're missing.
Two layers of AI turn IP into commercial intelligence.
Discover competitors, markets, buyer types and applications.
Financial results and sector classifications tell part of a company’s story. Its underlying technology adds another dimension: where it competes, which businesses overlap with it, and where it has a distinctive position.
Elute makes that evidence accessible. It connects detailed patent analysis with understandable markets, applications and competitors, helping you ask better questions and investigate the answers.
See “How Elute Works”.
Start with a company name.
Elute analyses the patent evidence, identifies technological relationships, and organises the results into markets, competitors and benchmarks.
The platform combines proprietary comparison algorithms with AI to make complex information easier to explore and interpret.
Watch the three-minute walkthrough to see how the process comes together.
Markets View
Explore the competitive landscape by market, then drill into the segments and technologies behind it.
A company’s technology can reach across several markets and applications. Elute organises patent evidence into Markets, Market Segments and Technology Themes. Explore the areas relevant to the company, then investigate the competitors and technologies within each one.
Build a more detailed understanding of what the company does, where its technology could be applied, and which competitive environments deserve closer attention.
Landscape View
Find competitors through the technology they share.
Find competitors through the technology they share.
Familiar names and broad industry categories can be useful starting points. Elute adds another perspective by comparing the underlying patent evidence.
Identify companies with relevant technological overlap. Investigate where they compete with the target business, and compare them within a particular market or segment.
This helps build a peer group around the question you are investigating, with evidence to explore behind each relationship.
Clear Blue Water View
Explore technological separation together to identify areas of opportunity .
Find the areas where a company stands apart.
Competition is rarely uniform across a business. A company may face substantial technological overlap in one area and occupy a more distinctive position in another.
Elute’s Clear Blue Water reporting helps you explore those differences. Consider commercial relevance alongside technological separation to identify areas worth investigating more closely.
Use it to focus due diligence, test a differentiation story, and examine where the company’s competitive position may be most distinctive.
Benchmark View
Explore historical activity and peer positioning to understand how the competitive picture has developed.
Put innovation activity into perspective.
A company’s patent activity becomes more useful when viewed over time and alongside relevant peers.
Elute’s benchmarks help you explore changes in activity and relative position. Examine the historical pattern, compare companies, and identify periods that deserve a closer look.
Bring an additional evidence base into discussions about innovation investment, competitive momentum and strategic direction.
