An office that returns nothing is reported as such: "no similar art there" is a finding too. Factdock never hides an empty result.

Similar-art comparison

  • USUS11239459B22022Overlap: High

    Low-expansion composite electrodes for all-solid-state batteries

    Covers composite electrodes for all-solid-state batteries that limit expansion during cycling.

  • JPJP7542193B22024Overlap: Medium

    Halide solid electrolyte material and battery using same

    Covers a halide solid electrolyte material and a battery built with it.

  • KRKR102424995B12022Overlap: Medium

    Hybrid solid electrolyte membrane for all solid state secondary battery and all solid state secondary battery comprising the same

    Covers a hybrid solid electrolyte membrane for all-solid-state secondary batteries.

A worked example using real granted patents. Every publication number is genuine and opens the public record. Not a live search result — and the overlap column illustrates the field the engine renders, not a legal assessment.

No search strings, no classification-code expertise. Write the invention in ordinary words, or simply load the documents you already have, and Factdock assembles the search conditions for you. Its real strength is that it is not bound by the systems or the languages of individual patent offices: from a single concept it produces the wording each jurisdiction actually uses — claims in the United States, 权利要求 in China, Patentanspruch in Germany — and searches across borders with it. That narrows the gap where a search conducted only in your own language, on your own country's index, quietly misses the significant art held abroad. And before the search runs, Factdock shows you every keyword and every localized query it intends to use, and lets you edit them on the spot. The process never becomes a black box; you proceed on conditions you have agreed with.

What this tool does

  • Just write it, or just load it

    Type the invention freely and the investigation begins. Upload the claims, the abstract, the drawings — PDFs or images — and Factdock reads them and fills the input field for you, so you can go straight from the documents on your desk into the search.

  • See and edit the keywords before you search

    AI generates several keyword sets, each taking a different angle, and presents them already converted into the patent terminology of every selected office. You can check them before the search runs and rewrite anything you disagree with, so the reason a result appeared is always traceable.

  • One of 18 countries and regions, or the five major offices at once

    Choose one country or region out of 18 — including Japan, the US, China, Korea and Europe — or the five major offices (US, JP, CN, KR, EP) in one go. You can also set the period (last 5 years, last 20 years, or all). When an office returns no hits, that is shown as a result too: no similar art was found there.

  • A comparison table, and a PDF for your attorney

    Results from every selected office are pooled and ranked by how closely they relate to your invention. The table shows office, core technology, possible differences, claim scope and degree of overlap (high / medium / low); for any patent you can pull a summary and a plain reading of the main claims in your own language, then export the lot as a PDF with a list of questions for your patent attorney.

AI converts your search keywords and translates the results.

Where it's used

  • “Before committing to a new product or service, when you want a first pass over similar patents at home and abroad”

  • “For a proper pre-filing search, when you need to know how much art close to your invention exists and in which countries”

  • “When you want to see quickly which regions a competitor is moving to secure, and what they are securing there”

  • “Before you sit down with a patent attorney, when you want your own questions and issues already in order”

Before you use this

  • Built to start the search, not to settle it

    This engine does not determine or warrant the legal validity of a patent or whether any right is infringed. It exists to surface the material that makes a pre-filing search and a conversation with a professional go faster.

  • Nothing is kept on our servers

    To protect your invention, the invention text you enter and the files you upload are not stored on Factdock's servers.

  • Processed, then discarded

    Your input and files are processed only temporarily for analysis and are discarded once processing ends.

  • Transparent by design

    The summary states the distribution of what was found and stops there — no unnecessary training, no secondary use, no legal recommendation. Every result carries a link to the official record, so the basis for any statement can always be checked.

  • About the scope of the searched data

    This feature searches published patents and patent information on the web, at home and abroad. It reaches many published patents and publications, but data filed or published in the last few weeks may not appear yet, depending on when search indexes pick it up.
