"Patent searching is a lengthy, extensive, and imperfect process for innovators. If someone wanted to find patents in a certain area, they'd have to use several tools, like Google Patents, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or a global patent database. Then, they'd have to search using specific keywords or codes -- or even rely on a patent attorney for supreme accuracy."
"Perplexity Patents, the AI company's latest tool, aims to not only democratize but also speed up that process. Released Thursday, the AI-powered database uses natural language to help researchers find the patents they're looking for. "Perplexity Patents ushers in a new era, in which anybody can access patent intelligence and get clear answers quickly, maintaining context across multiple questions," the Perplexity team wrote in a blog post. Perplexity Patents users can ask the database questions that don't rely on specific keywords or classification codes."
Patent searching is a lengthy, extensive, and imperfect process that typically requires multiple tools such as Google Patents, the USPTO database, or global patent repositories. Searchers often must craft precise keyword queries or use classification codes, and may even consult patent attorneys for accuracy. Perplexity Patents introduces an AI-powered, natural-language patent database that allows users to ask broad or vague questions without specific keywords. The tool returns collections of relevant patents, direct links to original documents, and maintains context across follow-up questions. It can surface adjacent patents, compare inventions, and aims to speed and democratize patent research.
