“Today we’re launching Perplexity Patents, the world’s first AI patent research agent that makes IP intelligence accessible to everyone. Patents are the artifacts of an age-old process: humans turning curiosity and ingenuity into practical innovation to benefit their fellow citizens. Curious people engage with the patent system as both consumers and contributors of knowledge. Through this cycle of innovation, humankind builds on what came before to dream up what might come next. The challenge has always been accessing this knowledge quickly enough to keep pace with new ideas. For decades, patent search has relied on systems that require precise keyword combinations and knowledge of obscure syntax to perform comprehensive research. Public search tools feature limited capabilities, while professional platforms are expensive and require significant training. These limits have kept everyone except specialists on the sidelines. Perplexity Patents ushers in a new era, in which anybody can access patent intelligence and get clear answers quickly, maintaining context across multiple questions. Find answers that match the pace of your innovation.”
