Your USPTO: Patent Public Searches, Simplified
The USPTO’s new Patent Public Search function, a recently launched, cloud-based platform, is four tools in one. It combines the capabilities of these existing search tools scheduled to be retired in September 2022: Public-Examiner’s Automated Search Tool (PubEAST), Public-Web-based Examiner’s Search Tool (PubWEST), Patent Full-Text and Image Database (PatFT), and Patent Application Full-Text and Image Database (AppFT).
