Bring clarity to your innovation,
one search at a time
The end of patent uncertainty
Extensive prior art covers the core mechanism - novelty is questionable without refinement.
Built differently on purpose
Patents are one of the largest public sources of technical knowledge.
But it's locked behind legal jargon, classification codes and complex search tools.
Invisible innovation
If you are not an IP professional, it is very hard to search and understand this information.
Wasted capital
The result is waste: duplicated research, money spent filing patents that already exist, time spent developing what has already been invented.
Universal access
Most current tools are too complex or too expensive. We are here to fix that and democratize access to patents.
Take a guess. The answers might surprise you.
How much of the world's technical knowledge is found only in patents?
One platform to navigate
millions of patents.
A patent intelligence platform that handles both the search and the analysis, across 165 million patents from 106 offices worldwide. Made credible and traceable for experts, simple enough for anyone else.

Who needs patent knowledge?
People who actually innovate.
Researchers, engineers, inventors, deep-tech founders and R&D teams. Only you have the domain knowledge to assess inventions.
of the world's technical knowledge exists only in patents.
A source for your research.
Use patents as a knowledge base from the start, not only once you have an invention ready.
Check before you publish.
Before disclosing in a paper or proceeding, see what you could patent and what you can share freely.
No more back and forth.
Bring a search to your lawyer or TTO so they understand your invention, instead of coming back with patents that miss the point.
From idea to answer in minutes
Turn on auto mode to let the engine generate your structured report instantly from your description.
1. You describe your invention.
In your own words, no technical jargon needed. Scout IP just translates it into the language patent databases understand, so nothing about your idea gets lost.
2. See what is already out there.
The engine breaks your idea down into concept groups and searches by meaning across global databases, eliminating the blind spots of traditional keyword searches.
3. Fine-tune if you want.
Expert mode gives you the wheel: adjust parameters, toggle technical features, and see the candidate volume adapt instantly before you launch.
4. Get your report.
Clear and traceable, showing what is close to your idea and why. A starting point you can act on, not a verdict.
Your invention stays yours
We treat your idea with the same care you do. Privacy is not a setting you turn on, it is how Scout IP is built.
We never train on your ideas.
Your description is used to run your search, then deleted. It never trains any AI model, ever.
Encrypted, start to finish.
Encrypted in our database before it is written to disk. Scout IP personnel cannot read your submission - the same standard used by global banks.
Nothing left behind.
Uploaded documents are processed exclusively in volatile memory. They are never written to persistent storage and are destroyed right after the analysis.
Your data stays in Europe.
All of it is processed and stored in the EU, under GDPR, by design and not just by policy.
Great ideas deserve
a clear path.
