The patent detail view is the single-page summary for any patent in your portfolio. It brings together status, metadata, claims, AI insights, licenses, correspondence, the audit log, drawings, and notes. You can understand and act on a patent without switching between tools.

How It Works
Click any row in the patent list to open the detail view. The page has three areas. The left sidebar shows key metadata and the navigation links Patent Info, Correspondence, and Audit Log. The centre shows the content for the selected link. The right rail holds the Notes button and the Drawings card.
Under Patent Info, click AI Summary, Strategy, Claims, or Description to scroll to that section. The centre column also shows cards for the linked disclosure, the Next Task, Licenses, Screening Projects, and similar families. Click the pencil icon at the top of the sidebar to open the edit drawer. Click Family Tree beside Worldwide Applications to open the family diagram.
Administrators can choose which sidebar fields your workspace displays in Settings > Workspace Data > Patent Detail View.
