Performs AI-powered visual similarity searches against global utility model patent databases using product image URLs to assess infringement risks.

Utility Patent Image Search empowers e-commerce sellers, hardware developers, and IP researchers to perform visual similarity searches against global utility model patent (type U) databases using a single image URL. Leveraging specialized AI vision models for shape-only or shape-pattern-color matching, the skill scans patent drawings across major jurisdictions like CN, US, JP, and EP. Users can filter by legal status, assignee name, application dates, and IPC classifications to quickly evaluate product structure risks, uncover prior art, and identify competing assignees before manufacturing or listing products.

Key Features

01Multi-jurisdiction filtering covering China, US, Japan, South Korea, EPO, WIPO, and more
02Comprehensive patent metadata extraction including drawings, claims, descriptions, and IPC codes
03AI visual similarity matching tailored specifically for utility model patents (type U)
0455 GitHub stars
05Granular filters for legal status (active/pending/expired), filing dates, and assignees
06Support for both shape-only and combined shape, pattern, and color search strategies

Use Cases

01Checking new physical product structures for utility model patent infringement risks before production
02Tracking competitor utility patent portfolios and monitoring active filings in target regional markets
03Conducting visual prior-art investigations to assess patentability for utility patent applications
