Design Patent Research
The research platform built for design patents.
Search more than 74,000 documents — prosecution histories, PTAB and court decisions, statutes, and the MPEP — with Boolean and proximity search, a citation-ready viewer, folders, drafting, and AI research, all in one place.
No credit card required.
Documents from design patent prosecution histories that contain at least one non-final rejection, PTAB appeal decisions (published and unpublished), AIA trial IPR/PGR decisions, reissue applications, Federal Circuit, district court, and Supreme Court decisions — plus statutes, rules, and the MPEP. Search them individually, in any combination, or all at once.
About the corpus
ProSearch focuses on design patent prosecution histories that contain at least one non-final rejection — the files where examiners and applicants engaged on the merits. Each typically includes the original application documents (claim, specification, and drawings), along with the office actions, responses, and decisions that followed, including remarks in the notices of allowance.
What's inside
A complete design patent research workflow.
Everything from the first query to the finished draft, in a single platform built for how practitioners actually work.
Search the way you practice.
Run the queries you already think in — Boolean operators, proximity search, and exact phrases, combined in a single query — scoped by issue date across more than fifteen source types at once.
- Combine proximity operators and exact phrases in one query, like LKQ /20 "prior art" /20 analogous
- Filter by all time, last 30 days, or a custom date range
- Results shown with your search terms highlighted in context
- The last result you opened stays marked, so you keep your place as you work down a list
A viewer built for citation.
Open any result in a full document viewer that indexes every occurrence of your term in a side panel. Jump to the passage you need, then lift it cleanly.
- Cite-Ready Copy stamps the document number, page, and date onto every quote
- Broken line breaks from the source PDF are cleaned up automatically
- Drag to highlight, mark up, and Save with Markup to keep your annotations
- Paste straight into your brief — or the built-in word processor
Keep every matter organized.
Save results into nested folders, keep your marked-up work together, and pull documents down to your computer in bulk when you need them.
- Nested private folders with 3 GB of storage each
- Download up to 20 documents at a time to your computer
- Save documents with or without your markups
- A Shared Library of practice resources, visible to every member
Draft without leaving the page.
A full word processor lives inside ProSearch, so the path from research to response never leaves the platform. Pull quotes in, write the argument, export the file.
- Track changes, footnotes, tables of contents, and comments
- Save drafts straight into your folders
- Export to Word, PDF, or plain text
AI research, pay per question.
Ask questions in plain English across any slice of the corpus, or attach your own office action and ask about it in light of everything else. You pay only when you get an answer.
- Natural-language questions over the sources you choose
- Attach up to 3 documents (PDF or TXT) and ask about them directly
- Pay-as-you-go credits — no subscription, and they never expire
- No answer, no charge
