NLPatent Rebrands as Clerq and Launches AI Patent Workflows

August 18, 2026
NLPatent has rebranded as Clerq and launched an agentic AI platform for patent research tasks. The company also announced partnerships with RPX Corporation and Park IP.

Clerq, formerly NLPatent, announced in a press release that it has rebranded and launched an agentic AI platform for patent research tasks. The company said the platform can complete work that usually takes days or weeks in about 10 minutes.

The first two workflows cover rapid triage for screening invention disclosures and full patentability reports. The reports include reasoning and cited references for review by a responsible attorney. Clerq said invalidity and freedom to operate workflows will follow.

Clerq also announced cross referral integrations with RPX Corporation and Park IP. The integrations connect Clerq's platform with each partner's environment. The company also named Michael Chernoff as Director of IP Strategy.
