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.

How to Hand Off a Patent Search Without Losing the Technical Context

A patent search is much easier to review when the technical context travels with it. Start with a short invention summary in plain language, then list the features you believe are distinctive. For each important result, record why it is relevant, which claim or feature it appears to touch, and what remains uncertain. Avoid turning a search report into a legal conclusion. The useful handoff is a clear map of evidence and questions that lets a qualified patent professional decide what to investigate next.
