PatentScan

PatentScan (ПатентСкан) is a Russian AI-powered patent search and patent analytics service. According to its official website, the platform searches across roughly 94.9 million patent publications and covers the patent databases of Russia, the CIS, the United States, Europe, China and Japan, presenting its analysis in Russian. Its core promise is a "honest verdict" on the patent landscape surrounding a user's idea: it assesses uniqueness, builds a map of patent activity on a topic, and produces an R&D review. The service is positioned as a fast, confidential, self-service tool. A user enters an email address, describes an idea, invention, technology or method in their own words, and receives a free uniqueness assessment within minutes, together with up to ten closest analogues, their sources, legal statuses and indications of industrial applicability. Every conclusion is meant to be traceable: the platform states that each finding is linked to a source, and that each assertion is justified by a reference to a specific patent. The example shown on the homepage cites a search index of 94,917,078 publications and a nearest analogue identified as US 5,629,870 A, with jurisdictions listed as RU, US, CN, EP and JP. Beyond the free basic search, PatentScan offers a deeper paid tier. The company describes three tools, each framed as an AI agent adapted to a specific patent-analysis task and constrained to use only real, confirmed sources with honest calibration and visible limits. These range from checking a single idea to producing a technology review of an entire industry, including patent-landscape construction and idea screening. For organisations, PatentScan markets a team offering aimed at R&D teams and project institutes, with a personal demo, a single account for the organisation and team training. The brand is therefore best understood as a software-as-a-service platform in the intellectual-property information space, rather than a manufacturer or retailer. Its differentiation rests on Russian-language access to global patent data, AI-generated analysis with source citations, and a low-friction free entry point that converts into deeper paid analysis and enterprise engagements. Wikidata describes it simply as a "Russian AI-powered patent search service". Public evidence available here does not disclose its founding year, founders, ownership structure or headquarters, so those details remain unconfirmed.

Public evidence available for PatentScan is limited to its official website and a Wikidata entry, so a fully dated corporate history cannot be reconstructed here. What can be established is the shape of the service as it presents itself today. PatentScan (ПатентСкан) is described by Wikidata as a "Russian AI-powered patent search service". Its official website presents a platform built around searching a large corpus of patent publications — stated as roughly 94.9 million — and analysing the patent landscape of a user's idea. The service covers the patent databases of Russia, the CIS, the United States, Europe, China and Japan, and delivers its output in Russian, which positions it as a Russian-language gateway to global patent information. The product is organised around a three-step workflow. First, a user enters an email address and describes an idea, invention, technology or method in their own words. Second, a free search returns a uniqueness assessment within minutes, along with up to ten closest analogues, their sources, legal statuses and industrial-applicability notes. Third, users who need more can commission a deep analysis, a patent landscape and a screening of the idea. The homepage illustrates the output with an example showing a search index of 94,917,078 publications, a nearest analogue of US 5,629,870 A, and jurisdictions RU, US, CN, EP and JP. The company frames its offering as three tools, each an AI agent tuned to a specific patent-analysis task and governed by rules of using only real, confirmed sources, honest calibration and visible capability limits. These span from checking a single idea to producing a technology review of an entire industry. For organisations, PatentScan markets a team-oriented package aimed at R&D teams and project institutes, including a personal demo, a single account for the organisation and team training. Because the available sources do not state a founding date, founders, ownership or headquarters, the brand's history before its current public presentation cannot be documented from this evidence. The dossier therefore records the service as active and describes its current scope rather than asserting unverified chronology.
