Perplexity Patents
AI-powered patent search for everyone
Visit website →About
Perplexity Patents is an AI agent for searching intellectual property in plain language. Instead of learning patent-database query syntax, a user describes what they are looking for, and it searches patents, academic papers, and code repositories together.
It handles complex queries, finds prior art relevant to an idea, and gives answers with citations, in the same style as Perplexity's main product.
It is aimed at inventors, founders, researchers, and anyone who needs to check the IP landscape around an idea, patentability, freedom to operate, prior art, without paying for specialist tools or hiring a search professional for a first pass.

Why we picked it
Perplexity Patents earns a spot for opening up patent search specifically — describe an idea in plain language instead of learning database query syntax, and it searches patents, papers, and code together with citations.
