Perplexity has launched Perplexity Patents, a new beta product designed to help users research patents using natural-language queries instead of traditional keyword-heavy search methods. The tool is available worldwide from today, with free access during the beta period.
Key details
- New product: Perplexity Patents is described as an AI patent research agent for patent and IP intelligence.
- Search approach: It applies Perplexity’s citation-first model to patent search, aiming to make results easier to verify.
- Natural-language queries: Users can ask questions such as “Are there any patents on AI for language learning?” rather than build complex search strings.
- Availability: The beta is launching globally.
- Pricing during beta: It is free for all users while in beta.
- Subscriber benefits: Pro and Max subscribers will get additional usage quotas and model configuration options.
For small business owners and builders, this could lower the barrier to doing early-stage patent research before launching new products or features. It may also help teams quickly assess existing IP landscapes without needing specialist patent search workflows.
