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?

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.

Mapping inventor networks before a portfolio-wide prior-art search

Before running a portfolio-wide prior-art search, map the co-inventor relationships across your reference set. Inventors who appear together on multiple filings tend to work in the same technical area, and their earlier publications often overlap with the prior art you will find for later patents. By grouping references by inventor cluster, you can run one broad search per cluster instead of repeating the same query for each patent individually. AutoPatent workspace tags now include an inventor-group field that organizes pinned references by shared inventor names. The grouping is organizational, not a legal conclusion about obviousness or combination risk. Contact: sapsap@qq.com.
