• 01Inside Your AI

  Connect Patent Bear to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini and ask in a sentence. Your assistant searches, reads the issued text, and answers with every quote cited to the column and line.

  Standard MCP with OAuth. Claude, Claude for Work, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Codex, in about two minutes per user.

• 02Patents, Publications & Applications

  Search millions of US and European patents and publications by owner, inventor, CPC, dates, and claim text. Look up any US application with its full prosecution history, always free.

  Claims in their operative form after reexamination and PTAB certificates, with term, maintenance-fee status, and current ownership. Download prosecution documents individually or merged into a single PDF.

• 03Beautiful Reading Experience

  Patents deserve better than the USPTO website. Properly formatted claims with nesting, structured sections, and a table of contents.

  Adjustable font sizes, content width preferences, column-line citations, and print-optimized layout.

• 04Highlights & Annotations

  Mark up patents with color-coded highlights, save claim terms, and add notes to figures. Everything persists across sessions.

  10 colors, per-claim term tracking with occurrence counts, and a full annotation panel.

• 05Court Decisions & PTAB

  Search district court, Federal Circuit, and Supreme Court decisions by patent, party, judge, issue, or doctrine, and read them in the same reader. See IPR, PGR, and CBM challenges on any granted patent with the full trial docket.

  Open any patent and the decisions that ruled on it are already there, with the ground and the claims involved.

• 06Examiner & Judge Profiles

  See how an examiner has handled applications in an art unit, or how a judge has ruled on an issue, built from the office actions and decisions themselves.

  Useful for planning a response, choosing a venue, or setting a client's expectations.

• 07AI Patent Chat

  Ask questions about any patent in plain English. Get cited answers that link directly to the relevant claims, paragraphs, and figures.

  Zero data retention at every AI provider we use. Nothing you send is used to train a model.

• 08Research Analyses

  Run prior-art searches with element-by-element claim charts, invention screens, §112 disclosure checks, and freedom-to-operate scans, started in a sentence from the site or from your AI and cited back to the record.

  Prior Art, Charting, Disclosure, Invention, and Clearance, plus structured search across sequences, chemical structures, and citations.

• 09Claim Charts

  Break claims into preamble and individual elements. Add notes alongside each element. Export to Word for briefs or client reports.

  Automatic element parsing: [1Pre], [1a], [1b], [1c]. Edit to refine. Duplicate charts for the same patent.

• 10Library & Matters

  Keep saved patents, annotations, claim charts, documents, and analysis runs together, organized by client and matter.

  Everything you save lives in one workspace you can return to, filter by matter, and share with your firm.

• 11Firm Collaboration

  Share annotations across your firm. Everyone sees the same highlights, notes, and saved terms. No more emailing screenshots.

  Firm plans with per-seat pricing, admin controls, and email invites.

• 12Your Data Stays Private

  Your queries, documents, and annotations stay yours. Every AI provider Patent Bear uses is bound not to keep what it is sent, and nothing is used to train a model.

  Each user signs in with their own account and sees only their own work.
