FindIP review
Broad AI patent search with a free plan and a $45 monthly entry tier.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
FindIP is an AI-oriented patent search service for researchers, inventors, legal teams, and businesses. It supports meaning-based and multilingual searches across published patents from the United States, China, Japan, Korea, and Europe. Users can work through a browser playground, REST API, or supported AI-tool integrations. Its feature set spans patent claims and full text, drawings, image similarity, DNA, RNA and protein sequence search, prior-art research, freedom-to-operate and invalidity workflows, and portfolio and filing-trend analytics.
The pricing structure makes FindIP accessible for lighter research while offering larger credit allowances for heavier use. The Free plan includes 30 search credits per month, all APIs, five jurisdictions, and re-ranking. Basic costs $45 per month for 300 search credits, all APIs, five jurisdictions, and email support. Pro costs $135 per month for 1,000 search credits, single-user access, all APIs, and priority support. Team Basic is $45 per seat per month with 300 credits per member, a team dashboard, unified billing, and self-service seat changes. Team Pro is $135 per seat per month with 1,000 credits per member and priority support. Annual Basic is $486, while annual Pro is $1,458. Enterprise uses custom pricing and contract terms.
FindIP’s main advantage is breadth within its covered patent collection. It combines semantic search with claim analysis, patent clustering, family analysis, image search, sequence search, and workflow-specific research for prior art, FTO, and invalidity. The REST API and MCP integrations extend the service into Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Ollama, and LM Studio. The published coverage begins in 2001, with China covered from 2010, and is limited to published patents from the five listed jurisdictions. Choose FindIP for broad AI-assisted patent research and API access at a relatively low entry price; teams needing wider geographic coverage should consider another service.
