ClaimHit / Hit Charts
How a Hit Chart is built
A Hit Chart maps each claim limitation to public records, with a citation for every element. It is not an opinion on whether a product complies with anything.
From claim to chart
The claim is broken apart, not summarised
Each limitation is isolated on its own, with its terms tracked through the claim. Inventive elements are told apart from standard scaffolding.
We read the product's documentation, not just its homepage
Spec sheets, manuals and, for standards work, the standards documents themselves are assembled before anything is judged.
Every element is judged against a quotable excerpt
FULL, PARTIAL or NONE, each backed by a validated citation. Inferences are rejected in favour of documented evidence.
A gap triggers a different hunt, not the same one again
When coverage is incomplete, the search pivots to datasheets, regulatory filings and other specialist sources, in the field's own vocabulary.
Reading the diagrams, because some things are never written down
Block diagrams and teardown photos are read by vision models to find architectural details the text never states.
Obvious scaffolding, marked honestly as such
Elements that are inherent but undocumented are flagged as such, never dressed up as citations.
Cross-checked, then weighted by what actually matters
Findings are verified and weighted by significance. Legal conclusions stay with counsel.
One chart, every element sourced
Coverage stated in a word for each element. Nothing rounded up, nothing inferred without saying so.
What a Hit Chart looks like
Each row is one claim element, the excerpt that supports it and where it came from. Coverage is FULL, PARTIAL or NONE, never a percentage.
| Element | Claim language | Source | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1[pre] | A wearable sensing device comprising… | Datasheet, p. 2 | FULL |
| 1[a] | a housing enclosing an optical sensor array… | Teardown, fig. 3 | FULL |
| 1[b] | a processor configured to sample at a variable rate… | FCC filing, exh. 7 | PARTIAL |
| 1[c] | wherein the rate is set by detected motion… | User manual, p. 14 | NONE |
Your documents add, never subtract
Teardowns or specifications you supply are incorporated additively. They cannot lower coverage that public evidence already supports, and contradictions are flagged rather than quietly resolved.
Four things a Hit Chart will not do
- Fabricate a citation.
- Inflate PARTIAL to FULL.
- Rely on paywalled sources.
- Declare infringement.
