ZEROCK for DeeptechPatent search, paper surveys, DD docs.
Researchers should focus on inventing
81% of deeptech founders feel investors don't understand their technology. ZEROCK builds the knowledge foundation for your R&D.
R&D Challenges Facing Deeptech
Patent searches require manually cross-referencing J-PlatPat, Google Patents, and Espacenet, taking 2 weeks per investigation
No unified search across arXiv, PubMed, IEEE databases means missing competitive research developments
3 years of experimental know-how scattered across Slack history and local PCs. A single key researcher's departure makes protocol reproduction impossible
Creating technical due diligence materials for investors takes 3+ days each time, consuming research hours
Outsourcing FTO (Freedom to Operate) analysis to patent attorneys costs millions of yen and weeks of time
81%
Of deeptech entrepreneurs who feel investors cannot properly understand the value of their technology

Deeptech Implementation Results
Materials Startup (25 employees)
25 employees, 15 researchers, 12 patents
During Series A preparation, we were manually researching competitor patent landscapes for 2 weeks. ZEROCK delivers equivalent or better analysis in 2 hours. White space identification accuracy improved, allowing us to significantly revise our filing strategy. The Dev Mode graphs in investor presentations are a huge advantage.
