What It Is

myPatentAI is an AI-powered preliminary patent screening tool for inventors, founders, and patent professionals. It was built by Jerry Joseph, a USPTO patent attorney with more than 20 years of experience. Its main focus is helping users quickly assess whether an invention may be patentable before committing to a formal patent application, generating reports through AI prior-art search, CPC classification, and analysis of likely examiner search strategies.

Core Capabilities

Based on the information on the site, myPatentAI is not a general-purpose chatbot. Instead, it offers an analysis workflow designed around U.S. patent practice. Users answer 5 questions about their invention, and the system analyzes a large volume of patents in about 5 minutes, returning relevant prior art, a novelty confidence score, CPC classifications, and the search strategies a USPTO examiner may use. The Professional report also includes claim-by-claim gap analysis, recommendations, and a 1-hour consultation with a patent attorney. Its machine-learning classifier is said to learn from each search and subsequent examination outcomes, but the site does not disclose the specific models used, database coverage, or accuracy metrics.

Pricing and Free Tier

The Basic plan is free and does not require a credit card. It is suitable for an initial validation of an idea and includes patent search, 3 related patents, a novelty confidence score, and a basic PDF report. The Professional plan is a one-time payment of $199 and includes a 10-page professional report, detailed gap analysis, examiner strategy, and a 1-hour attorney consultation, with a 7-day money-back guarantee. Enterprise is aimed at law firms and organizations, offering unlimited searches, white labeling, and custom integrations, with pricing available by contacting sales.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a clear professional focus, real patent-attorney experience behind the product, and the ability to compress traditionally expensive patent searches and initial consultations into a lower-cost offering. The free version also lowers the barrier to trying it. On the privacy side, it claims local processing, no uploading, no storage, and NDA availability. The limitations are that it explicitly is not a substitute for formal patent attorney services and is only suitable as a pre-filing screening tool; the free version has limited depth; and the site does not state whether Chinese is supported, whether non-U.S. patent systems are covered, or provide public data on its API, models, or search quality.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is best suited to individual inventors and startups preparing to file U.S. patents, as well as patent attorneys or law firms that need to quickly screen client ideas. Chinese users who are mainly focused on Chinese patent searches should still cross-check with tools such as Patsnap, Incopat, and Google Patents. The site does not state whether direct access from mainland China works reliably, whether payments are supported from China, or whether Chinese-language support is available, so its China access status should be considered unknown.
