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.

Claim-scope notes are recommended before a counsel handoff

Search workspaces already preserve documents and comparison decisions. Starting 2026-07-20, AutoPatent recommends attaching a claim-scope note before sharing a workspace with counsel or a co-inventor. State which features were treated as distinctive, which prior-art passages were reviewed, and which questions remain open. Do not present an automated novelty verdict. The goal is a cleaner handoff with explicit limits on what the tool did not decide. Inventors should still use qualified patent counsel for novelty, claim scope, filing strategy, and freedom-to-operate decisions. Contact: sapsap@qq.com.
