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.

Public research notes now follow the same review trail as search workspaces

Patent research loses value when the conclusion is separated from the documents and assumptions behind it. The public content review now follows the same practical rule as a search workspace: keep the source route stable, state what was actually checked, and preserve the limits of the conclusion. Before an article or update enters the index, its link is verified, its context must stand on its own, and legal judgment must not be presented as an automated certainty. This is an editorial and indexing change rather than a new legal service. Inventors should still use qualified patent counsel for novelty, claim scope, filing strategy, and freedom-to-operate decisions.
