Welcome to Global Patent Search

Why would anyone want to search this database of worldwide patents and technology? Because it's where our world's knowledge is stored.

With the information contained in this database, you can do pretty much anything. You can reduce greenhouse gases. You can make trains hover above the track. You can cure cancer. You can turn wind into electricity. You can make voices fly around the planet in less than a moment. With this database, and a little bit of ambition, you can change the world!

So a better question is, why isn't everyone searching this database? What are you waiting for?

Welcome to IP.com's test release of our new Global Patent Search system. IP.com's GPS is a free international database of full-text patent and patent-related publications.

Our goal is to encourage worldwide access to resources where innovators can explore and understand patents, technologies, and related art. In this preliminary version, the database contains the full text of U.S. Patents, U.S. Patent Applications, and our own unique Prior Art Database. In the coming months we will continue to expand our features and add more patent and non-patent literature to the database.

Please check back regulary to see what more we are offering. We think you will be pleasantly surprised.
