Is AutoPatent free to use?

Yes. AutoPatent offers free patent search and optimization trials. A Pro plan is available for advanced features.

Which patent databases does AutoPatent search?

For 11 major patent offices (US, EP, WO, JP, KR, CN, DE, GB, FR, CA, AU) AutoPatent searches official bibliographic records via the European Patent Office's Open Patent Services (OPS). For other offices it provides clearly labeled AI-assisted references recalled by the DeepSeek model, not a verified database search.

How does AI patent optimization work?

AutoPatent compares your invention description against the retrieved prior art — official bibliographic records where available, clearly labeled AI-recalled references otherwise — then rewrites your description to emphasize novel technical features, with itemized explanations for each change. It is a drafting aid, not legal advice.

Can AutoPatent guarantee my patent will be approved?

No tool can guarantee patent approval. AutoPatent helps you strengthen your application by identifying potential conflicts and suggesting improvements, but final approval depends on the patent office.

Is my patent idea kept confidential?

Yes. AutoPatent does not store your patent ideas permanently. All searches are processed in-memory and not shared with third parties.

Now Supporting 17 Global Patent Offices

We have expanded our patent search coverage to 17 major patent offices worldwide. In addition to our original support for China (CNIPA) and the United States (USPTO), we now cover the European Patent Office, Japan, South Korea, WIPO/PCT, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Australia, India, Russia, Brazil, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Select your target office and AutoPatent returns ranked prior-art candidates: official bibliographic records where that coverage is available, clearly labeled AI-assisted analysis otherwise. Results are screening aids for early review, not legal opinions.
