Introducing Perplexity Patents: AI-Powered Patent Search for Everyone
Today we’re launching Perplexity Patents, the world’s first AI patent research agent that makes IP intelligence accessible to everyone.
Patents are the artifacts of an age-old process: humans turning curiosity and ingenuity into practical innovation to benefit their fellow citizens. Curious people engage with the patent system as both consumers and contributors of knowledge. Through this cycle of innovation, humankind builds on what came before to dream up what might come next. The challenge has always been accessing this knowledge quickly enough to keep pace with new ideas.

Patents are the artifacts of an age-old process: humans turning curiosity and ingenuity into practical innovation to benefit their fellow citizens. Curious people engage with the patent system as both consumers and contributors of knowledge. Through this cycle of innovation, humankind builds on what came before to dream up what might come next. The challenge has always been accessing this knowledge quickly enough to keep pace with new ideas.
For decades, patent search has relied on systems that require precise keyword combinations and knowledge of obscure syntax to perform comprehensive research. Public search tools feature limited capabilities, while professional platforms are expensive and require significant training. These limits have kept everyone except specialists on the sidelines.
Perplexity Patents ushers in a new era, in which anybody can access patent intelligence and get clear answers quickly, maintaining context across multiple questions. Find answers that match the pace of your innovation.
Natural Language Meets Patent Intelligence
Perplexity Patents extends our citation-first approach to patent search. Instead of constructing complicated searches of keywords, simply ask Perplexity “Are there any patents on AI for language learning?” or “Key quantum computing patents since 2024?” Perplexity understands patent-oriented queries automatically, returning collections of relevant patents when useful, and providing an inline viewer and direct links to original documents. This seamless integration of authoritative sources and AI-powered intelligence makes patent research delightful and effortless.
Perplexity Patents works like a conversation. If you want to dig deeper or compare different inventions, ask a follow-up question - no need to start over. We’ll even suggest relevant follow-up topics to help you keep exploring and illuminate new research directions.
Built for Real Patent Work
Perplexity Patents can surface decisive prior art that rigid keyword matching misses. Searches go beyond exact matches, uncovering important inventions even if you use different words. For instance, if you search for “fitness trackers,” traditional tools might only show patents with that precise term. With Perplexity Patents, you’ll also discover results about “activity bands,” “step-counting watches,” and “health monitoring wearables,” even if those words aren’t in your search.
Behind the scenes of this intuitive user experience lies a state-of-the-art agentic research system. Our AI research agent breaks down complex queries into concrete information retrieval tasks. Those tasks are executed using a special patent knowledge index hosted on our exabyte-scale search infrastructure. The results are used by the agent to guide follow-up research and, when ready, to answer your query with anywhere from dozens to hundreds of supporting documents.
For users, this means no more typing out exact keywords or jumping through hoops. Perplexity Patents uses advanced AI to bring you real answers in real time, even to questions you might not have thought to ask.
Beyond Traditional Patent Databases
Engineers, researchers, patent practitioners, and business leaders know that real innovation rarely fits neatly inside a single box. Prior art today is encapsulated in increasingly numerous and often unconventional forms: blogs, videos, and even computer code. With Perplexity Patents, you’re not limited to searching just the patent literature. When necessary, Perplexity will also explore academic papers, public software repositories, and other sources where new ideas and breakthroughs first appear. That means you can catch trends, discover related technology, and see the full landscape.
Perplexity Patents
We are launching Perplexity Patents as a beta product, available worldwide starting today. While in beta, Perplexity Patents will be free for all users. Pro and Max subscribers will receive additional usage quotas and model configuration options. Simply start with a patent-related query and Perplexity will bring the world’s patent intelligence to your fingertips.
