See which patents matter, and which hold.
teleon.dev/docs/patents reads USPTO, EPO and WIPO claims, counts forward citations, and scores each claim set for Alice section 101 risk.
Citations show influence, and the section 101 score shows which claim sets carry abstract-idea risk, such as a scheduling method.
What it does
Families across offices
USPTO, EPO and WIPO filings for one invention group into a single patent family.
Influence by citation
Forward citations count how often later filings build on each patent.
Section 101 risk
Each claim set gets an Alice score for its exposure to an abstract-idea challenge.
The contract
A family record lists its members by office, claims, forward citations and section 101 score, with each source, license and read time.

- Patent family
- All the filings that protect one invention across patent offices, such as a US patent, a European patent and a WIPO application.
- Forward citation
- A later patent or application that cites an earlier one. Patents with many forward citations tend to be influential.
- Alice test
- The two-step test from the 2014 Alice decision that US courts apply under section 101 of the Patent Act to decide whether a claim is directed to an abstract idea.
- Change cursor
- A position in a feed's change stream. A reader sends the last cursor it saw and gets every change after it, in order.
