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.

AutoPatent Introduces AI Claim Drafting Assistant

We are thrilled to announce the AutoPatent Claim Drafting Assistant — an AI-powered tool that transforms your invention description into properly structured patent claims. Simply describe your invention in plain language, and the assistant generates a complete claim set including independent claims with proper preambles and characterizing portions, plus dependent claims that add meaningful limitations. Each claim is annotated with drafting notes explaining the legal rationale behind key phrasing choices. The assistant is trained on millions of granted patents across all major jurisdictions and adapts its output to USPTO, EPO, CNIPA, and JPO claim conventions. This feature is available now to all subscribers on the unlimited plan, with per-use pricing coming for credit-pack users.
