🔧 Workflow

Daily receive technical innovation requirements, core parameters, and technical features to be avoided from enterprises or inventors. First, call the patent database to search for existing patents in the same field and export a list of technical solutions. Input them into the large model for technical feature comparison, gap identification, and infringement risk assessment. After manual review of technical details, output a feasibility analysis report including innovation point positioning, R&D direction suggestions, and risk warnings, while simultaneously connecting with subscribed enterprises to push patent dynamic updates in corresponding technical fields.

🛠 Setup Requirements

Requires a basic science and engineering background or completion of patent search skills training, the ability to accurately understand the core features of technical solutions, and mastery of patent search syntax and prompt engineering. There is no need to purchase expensive enterprise-level patent databases; in the early stage, free search tools plus large model APIs are sufficient to start. Building a complete workflow and testing report templates for different technical fields takes 10-15 days.

💰 Revenue

① Single novelty search feasibility report (main revenue): Inventors and micro-enterprises pay service fees per project, 1000-1500 RMB per order, doing 10-15 orders per month. The monthly income from reports is about 15,000 RMB. Combined with other income, it totals about 18,000-20,000 RMB, accounting for about 75%-83% of monthly revenue (calculated from figures in the card, reported by the merchant, without independent review, timed in 2026); ② Patent dynamic monitoring subscription: Micro-enterprises pay a monthly subscription fee of 300-500 RMB/month. Serving multiple enterprises can add another 3000-5000 RMB/month. The share of this part in the total income is not public (reported by the merchant, unverified independently); ③ Value-added fees for expedited service and multiple rounds of revisions: Charged in addition to the project service fee. The markup amount, number of occurrences, and proportion of income are also untraceable; ④ Opportunity item - Batch search packages for incubators and universities: Charged per project or annual subscription, the exact revenue contribution was not disclosed.

💸 Cost

Monthly fixed costs are about 800 RMB, including about 300 RMB for large model API calls and about 500 RMB for query and export fees of some overseas patent databases per call, with no other additional expenses.

⏱ Time Investment

🚀 Getting Started

The first step for a novice is to register a service account on crowdsourcing platforms like Zhubajie and Xianyu, publish services for ghostwriting patent novelty search reports and feasibility analysis, issue simulated reports for 3 individual inventors for free as a portfolio, set a single service price in the 800-1000 RMB range to test and take orders, and expand to micro-enterprise subscription clients after accumulating more than 5 real cases.

🔑 Keys to Success

✅ Build an exclusive prompt template library covering mainstream technical fields such as electronic information, machinery, and biomedicine to ensure consistent technical feature comparison dimensions and accurate innovation point identification in reports.
✅ Define service boundaries clearly, issuing only technical novelty and innovation direction reference reports, without making patent invalidity declarations or infringement judgments at the legal effect level, to avoid practice risks.
✅ Establish reusable patent search keyword expansion rules to automatically expand synonyms and classification codes for professional terms in different technical fields, improving search coverage.
✅ Accumulate demand profiles for micro-enterprise R&D, launch customized patent dynamic monitoring subscription services, and improve client repurchase rates and long-term income.

⚠️ 风险

⚠️ The overseas coverage of free patent databases is limited. Patent data for some lesser-used language countries or cutting-edge technical fields is missing, posing the risk of missed searches leading to distorted reports.
⚠️ Content generated by large models may have deviations in technical feature comparison. If delivered directly without manual review, it may mislead clients' R&D directions and cause disputes.
⚠️ Some clients have insufficient understanding of patent searches and may equate reference reports with legal effect documents. Unclear service boundaries easily lead to complaints.

📌 Real Cases

📌 An independent intellectual property consultant relies on the Wisemaps Open Platform API and Claude to build a search and analysis workflow, providing patent novelty search services for micro-manufacturing enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta, with a customer unit price of 1,200 RMB, receiving an average of 12 orders per month, plus monthly patent monitoring subscriptions for 5 enterprises (400 RMB/month each), reaching a monthly income of 18,800 RMB.
📌 A part-time searcher at a patent agency uses the HimmPat free search tool + large model to generate a first draft, undertaking patent novelty search demands from university scientific research teams, charging 800 RMB per report, completing 20 copies per month, increasing monthly income by 16,000 RMB.
📌 A technology service team develops an automated analysis process based on the Baiteng Network patent search interface, providing regular patent feasibility analysis reports for projects settled in entrepreneurship incubators, charging a project-based subscription fee of 600 RMB/month per project, currently serving 27 projects with a stable monthly income of 16,200 RMB.
