This article provides an introduction to the continuous enhancements to PatentSight+. For a thorough exploration of PatentSight+ and its core capabilities, please visit: https://www.lexisnexisip.com/patentsight/
With LexisNexis PatentSight+, our objective is to elevate your experience in three pivotal areas, all with the aim of enhancing your decision-making to unprecedented levels:
PatentSight+, launched in November 2023, continues to evolve, and we are excited to share ongoing updates, including new features, enhancements, and continuous improvements. Our commitment is to keep you at the forefront of innovation. Moving forward, you can expect the introduction of new data sets, enhanced analytical capabilities, improved workflows, advanced visualization tools, and upgraded communication features.
As a PatentSight+ customer, you will get access to all the new and updated PatentSight+ features. In addition, we offer optional add-on modules within PatentSight+, such as AI Technology Classification, powered by LexisNexis® Classification and AI-powered search and patent landscape creation with TechDiscovery.
AI Classifier allows you to embed custom classifiers — trained with your patent examples and refined through human-supervised machine learning — directly into PatentSight+. Once integrated, these classifiers unlock advanced filtering, benchmarking, and visualization options tailored to your organization’s strategic taxonomy.
From sharper competitor tracking to faster whitespace discovery, AI Classifier helps you focus on what matters most — all within the PatentSight+ environment your team already uses.
Note: Requires access to the LexisNexis® Classification platform to build or license classifiers.

Now AI-Powered features are available to all PatentSight+ users at no extra cost. These two AI-powered tools work together to simplify analysis and accelerate high-value insights. AI-Powered Analysis Builder lets users describe their analysis goals in plain language and instantly generates a custom workbook with relevant charts and tables. AI-Powered Insights then interprets those visualizations, highlights key findings, and suggests next steps — helping users make smarter decisions, faster, with less effort.
More AI-powered features are coming. New betas will launch to AI Insider members first.

TechDiscovery, a robust AI-driven solution within the PatentSight+ platform, empowers users to navigate patent landscapes with as little as one word.
TechDiscovery is the ultimate solution for quick and efficient technology exploration. With just a few keywords or a brief description, the powerful generative AI and machine learning algorithms can instantly generate an overview of patent landscapes, providing IP professionals as well as non-patent experts with patent families to discover new spaces or countercheck existing searches.

Discover deeper insights into patent portfolios with the new Patent Family Tree in PatentSight+. This innovative feature automatically generates a comprehensive, top-down hierarchical tree diagram. The tree reveals the full story of an individual patent family and its members with clarity and precision. Optimized for seamless screen navigation, users can quickly view priorities, filing dates, and relationships between applications, publications, and grants at a glance. The visualization can also be downloaded as a PNG file with one click. Or share it instantly with a direct link for enhanced collaboration. Fully integrated into the existing PatentSight+ analytics workflow, it empowers you to navigate, visualize, and act—all in one powerful platform.

Experience seamless collaboration with PatentSight+ using the new Email Notification feature. When you share an object, you can effortlessly notify involved users via email and even include a personalized message to add context for the recipient.
This update streamlines multi-user communication by consolidating notifications and ensuring instant awareness with direct access through embedded links. Now, all your team members involved in the decision making process can efficiently contribute to shared content within PatentSight+.

Technology Clusters in LexisNexis PatentSight+ offers a powerful and precise way to explore and analyze patent landscapes. By automatically grouping similar patent families into hierarchical clusters, you can quickly identify trends, compare portfolios, and make informed, data-driven decisions within pre-defined technology domains. With weekly updates to new publication assignments, Technology Clusters provides an unbiased, up-to-date view of competitors’ patent portfolios, enabling fast and efficient exploration.

With Classification, you can perform analyses like competitive intelligence, benchmarking, trend scouting, and portfolio optimization within a familiar environment. Benefit from PatentSight+ features such as Patent Asset Index metrics, engaging visualizations, unmatched flexibility, and superior data quality, all while conducting patent analysis on a personalized scale.
PatentSight+ classification builder supports a collaborative approach. Multiple users can mark patents as relevant or irrelevant to a Classifier, collecting feedback from peers across the organization. This feedback loop is invaluable in refining patent classifications, ensuring that the most strategically significant patents are brought to the forefront. Teams can work together to decide how patents should be categorized. This creates a stronger, collective intelligence that drives better business decisions.
