Patent Search

What is the Patent Search tool?

The Patent Search tool helps you search domestic and international patent information to check your technology ideas and related patents.

Without having to query patent office sites or multiple patent databases one by one, the AI understands your request and finds patent information, organizing key details like patent number, title, applicant, and filing date.

For example, you can use this tool to check whether a certain technology is already patented, research a competitor's patent landscape, or look up prior art in the early stages of technical planning. You just need to enter the technology or keyword you're curious about, and the AI searches for related patent information and shows you the results.

In short, it's a tool that goes beyond keyword search to help you handle prior art checks and technology trend research in one step.

When can you use it?

The Patent Search tool is especially useful in these situations.

• When you want to check whether a certain technology or idea is already registered as a patent
• When you want to grasp the patent landscape of a competitor or specific company
• When you want to investigate prior patents before planning a new product or service
• When you want to look into the latest patent trends in a specific technology field

For example, you can naturally ask "Find patents related to autonomous driving", "Tell me about Samsung Electronics' OLED patents", or "Are there patents on foldable smartphones?". The AI will then use the Patent Search tool to find the results.

How to use it

Usage is simple. Just enter your request naturally, including the keyword you want to search and the word "patent".

The format is as follows:

[Technology · Topic keyword] + Patent + [Search · check expression]

Here are some examples:

• By technology field: "Search for patents related to AI voice recognition"
• By company: "Tell me about Samsung Electronics' recent 5G patents"
• Check registration: "Check if there are patents on foldable smartphones"
• Prior art research: "Look up patents related to LiDAR sensors for autonomous vehicles"

Practical request checklist

For a stronger Patent Search request, state the goal, input, scope, and output format together. Adding one more layer of constraints beyond the basic examples reduces follow-up questions and makes the result easier to use.

• Give the exact name, keywords, or research question, including useful synonyms.
• Set the country, institution or source, date range, freshness requirement, and exclusions.
• Ask for the links, publication dates, citations, comparison table, or summary you need.

Review, save, and reuse the result

Treat the Patent Search result as a draft or a snapshot taken at query time. Check the following before carrying it into the next task.

• Open the primary source and confirm that it supports the stated claim and date.
• For time-sensitive topics, record the as-of date and cross-check more than one source.
• Use legal, medical, and investment results for research; confirm consequential decisions with a qualified professional.
