Last updated March 2025

What PatentNexus provides

PatentNexus provides access to patent data via a REST API. Data is sourced from USPTO public records. We also provide AI-generated content including summaries and technology extraction.

Pricing and credits

API access is pay-per-request using prepaid credits. Credits are purchased in advance and deducted per request. There are no subscriptions and no minimum commitments. Credits do not expire.

All purchases are final. We do not offer refunds on unused credits.

No warranty on AI content

AI-generated content — including patent summaries, technology extraction, and prior art analysis — is provided as-is without warranty. Do not rely on it for legal decisions. Always verify against the source patent documents.

Data sources

Patent data is sourced from USPTO public records. We make reasonable efforts to keep data current but do not guarantee completeness or accuracy.

Account suspension

We may suspend or terminate accounts that abuse the service, attempt to circumvent rate limits, or use the API for harmful purposes. Unused credit balances at time of suspension are non-refundable.
