To find similar design patents using an image, you submit a publicly accessible image URL to the visual search endpoint. The system validates the URL and retrieves visually similar patents from the database.

Yes, you can search both design (D) and utility (U) patents with visual similarity. You must specify the patentType parameter as either D or U to query the respective patent databases.

You can refine an image-to-patent search by applying filters such as country, Loc, date ranges, legal status, and assignees. These optional parameters help narrow down the visually similar patent results.

The patent image search requires a publicly accessible image URL to function correctly. The system validates the accessibility of the image URL before issuing the API call to ensure a successful response.

The best way to perform a prior-art check for product design vetting is using an image-based search. Submitting a product image URL retrieves visually similar patents, enabling rapid IP risk assessment and competitive benchmarking.

Your visual patent search may fail if the image URL is not publicly accessible or the patentType is invalid. The system validates the image URL accessibility, model, and patentType inputs before issuing the API call.
