Is AutoPatent free to use?

Which patent databases does AutoPatent search?

AutoPatent searches global patent databases including CNIPA (China), USPTO (USA), EPO (Europe), JPO (Japan), KIPO (Korea), WIPO, and more.

How does AI patent optimization work?

AutoPatent compares your invention description against existing patents in CNIPA, USPTO, EPO, and other databases. It then rewrites your description to emphasize novel technical features and differentiate from similar existing patents, with itemized explanations for each change.

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.

5 Common Patent Application Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

1. Vague descriptions — Patents require precise, enabling disclosure. Use our Optimize feature to add technical depth. 2. Overly narrow claims — Broad claims provide stronger protection. Our AI suggests broader terminology. 3. Skipping prior art searches — Failing to search existing patents can lead to rejection. Always search before filing. 4. Ignoring international patents — A patent in one country may block yours globally. Search multiple jurisdictions. 5. Rushing to file — Take time to refine your description. A polished application has higher chances of approval.
