Four layers. One delivery model.

Claim 02 — The architecture

Four layers. One delivery model.

Domain depth directs the work. The agentic engine executes. Pods carry the matter. Outcomes ship.

Layer 01

Domain depth

The directing intelligence.

Twenty years of patent prosecution, search, litigation support, and IP analytics — built into deep domain teams and an internal library of methodologies, taxonomies, and analytical playbooks. Refined matter by matter, drawn from public patent literature and public case history.

  • Prosecution
  • Search
  • Litigation
  • Analytics
  • Subject Matter Experts
Layer 02

The agentic engine

The execution.

Lexa is Dolcera's proprietary agentic AI. Standard AI retrieves information. Lexa reasons through workflows as a sequence of decisions — searching, analyzing, mapping claims, surfacing evidence, and deciding what to investigate next.

Reasoning trace
01
search

Decomposed claim 1 into 4 limitations. Searched USPTO + EPO + JPO + WIPO for limitation [1.3.2] on encoding pipeline.

02
evidence

Mapped 7 candidate references. Filtered to 3 that disclose all limitations of the independent claim.

03
decide

Surfacing the strongest mapping for expert review. Two alternative framings prepared if disagreed.

Agree
Elaborate
Disagree
Single-matter mode

A focused agent in dialogue with a domain expert — produces one finished, defensible deliverable. SEP and EoU charts, invention evaluations, Non-Infringement Analysis.

Bulk mode

Orchestrated loops across thousands of patents — produces a triaged subset for expert attention or a synthesized landscape. Portfolio screening, M&A diligence, landscapes.

Layer 03

Pod-based delivery

The unit of work.

A pod is the smallest unit of work in an AI-native service. Default composition: one domain expert and Lexa, working on one matter, in continuous dialogue with three modes:

Agree

Expert accepts the reasoning. Work moves forward.

Elaborate

Expert asks for more depth or stronger justification.

Disagree

Expert re-directs Lexa to a different angle, evidence, or framing.

Across pods, Lexa's shared workspaces let a senior and junior analyst work the same matter with senior reasoning visible in real time — knowledge transfer happens during the work.

Decision-ready outcomes

What the buyer receives.

Dolcera ships the finished work product. Not the software. The buyer receives decision-ready outcomes they can use directly.
