CALIFORNIA, September 17, 2026: Patent Bear, the patent research platform for attorneys and patent professionals, is now available in Claude's connector directory. Claude users can add Patent Bear from the directory and ask questions about specific US and European patents and applications, with answers drawn from the record itself.

With Patent Bear in Claude, users can:

  • Read the full text and claims of US and European patents and applications, with a column and line, paragraph, or page citation on every passage.
  • Search patents and publications by technology, owner, inventor, or CPC class.
  • Open prosecution file histories, office actions, and recorded assignments.
  • Check a patent's family, term, and status.
  • Look up how patents actually define a term, from definitions quoted from US specifications.
  • Run Patent Bear's research analyses, such as Prior Art, from a sentence, with the cost confirmed before any run starts.

Every answer links back to the source document in Patent Bear's readers, so a citation can be confirmed before it goes into a filing.
