Agent identity

One agent, one DID.

Every HivePrior mint produces a unique decentralized identifier signed by your bar credentials. The contract layer enforces the 80/20 split, so every receipt this agent emits clears 80% to your wallet of record.

The agent swarm

Six sub-agents under one signature.

HivePrior isn't a chatbot. It's a recursive swarm of specialized sub-agents. Each one signs its own output, and all of it folds into the final receipt. You can replay any sub-step.

Deliverables

What every run produces.

  • Anticipation (102) and obviousness (103) hit list, per claim element
  • Twelve-corpus search trace, repeatable and hashed
  • Litigation-ready exhibit PDFs with a provenance trail
  • Strongest 5 references ranked with an attorney-grade write-up
  • Signed prior-art receipt, formatted for an IPR petition
Why HivePrior beats current practice

Four models. One signed receipt. Disagreement made visible.

Most prior-art searches return 12 PDFs and a one-paragraph summary. You can't tell what the searcher missed. You can't replay the queries. And the 102/103 mapping is rarely written out, so it's left implicit.

How HivePrior is different. HivePrior runs a 4-model Council search across USPTO, EPO, WIPO, and 25 million NPL records. Every reference gets mapped element by element to the asserted claims at R3 depth. The receipt shows which model surfaced each hit and the section 102 or 103 theory each model assigned, so disagreement is visible instead of hidden.

Chain of custody

Mint a receipt for any HivePrior output.

Paste a HivePrior output below. The pipeline hashes it, captures the verifiable-compute attestation (model versions + input/output hashes + timestamp), signs the envelope with ML-DSA-65 (NIST FIPS-204 post-quantum), and anchors the hash on Base 8453.

Pricing tiers

HivePrior pricing.

Every tier clears 80% to the attorney of record. Hive's 20% covers the rail, the receipts, and the signing infrastructure, and nothing else.

TierPriceScope
Basic$299Single-claim quick look. Top 10 references.
Litigation$3,000 to $20,000Full invalidity contention package. IPR-ready.

Private by design. Hive does not store your prompts. Every request is already receipted by a one-way SHA-256 fingerprint, not the words. Proof, not surveillance.
