Search international PCT filings alongside dozens of national patent collections. Documents download as PDFs for patent-landscape notebooks.
Where USPTO only covers US filings, PATENTSCOPE searches international PCT applications alongside a long list of national patent collections, making it the better choice for a notebook comparing patent activity across countries rather than just within the US. Documents download as PDFs with full claims and specifications. Coverage depth still varies by country, since it depends on how much each national office has contributed.
