USPTO Patent Search
Search USPTO patents for prior-art and patent research. Built for IP counsel, brand teams, researchers and AI agents.
⏰ Run this as a prior-art watch (recommended)
Every IP registry actor is a monitoring subscription, not a one-shot lookup. Schedule a weekly sweep and catch new filings as they land:
{"query": "artificial intelligence","limit": 100}
Weekly cron (0 8 * * 1) turns this into an always-on prior-art watch.
