GoVeda

GoVeda is a patent intelligence platform that pairs international patent search with AI-assisted analysis and reporting. It is best suited to IP professionals and builders who need to explore prior art across jurisdictions or connect patent tools to AI clients. Its free plan makes broad searching accessible, while the deeper analysis tools require a $200-per-month Pro subscription.

Overview

GoVeda supports semantic search and patent-number lookup across 108 jurisdictions, drawing on a collection of more than 220 million patent publications that it says is updated weekly. That breadth makes it a practical starting point for international prior-art exploration; search coverage alone is not a substitute for professional patent judgment.

The platform supports English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German and Spanish. GoVeda states that it is SOC 2 Type II certified and that customer searches, uploads and invention descriptions are not used to train or fine-tune AI models. For API use, responses stream to the AI client, and GoVeda says it retains no standalone copy after delivery ends. Support inquiries go by email, with a typical response within 24 hours on business days.

Key features

Search and patentability analysis

OpenPatent provides unlimited AI semantic searches, basic metadata filters, and AI patentability reports and summaries at no subscription cost. This is a useful way to explore the collection, but Pro is needed for longer search queries and unredacted reports. Pro also adds drag-and-drop prior-art search, an AI patent reader, novelty and inventive-step checks, combination analysis and structured report generation, which makes it the more relevant tier for users building a repeatable analysis workflow.

Reports and agent access

Pro includes FTO Report Beta, Landscape Report Beta and IP Scout Beta. Their beta status matters: these tools may suit users who want to incorporate emerging report workflows, but they should not be the sole basis for a decision that depends on a mature, dependable process. Pro also includes a Patent MCP server for agents. GoVeda's hosted MCP connects patent tools to Claude and ChatGPT, and its documentation lists Claude Code and other MCP clients, making it a sensible fit for users who already work through those environments.

Pricing

The free plan is generous for semantic discovery, but it does not include Pro's extended query length, unredacted reports or agent server. Pro is aimed at IP professionals and builders who can make regular use of its 20,000 monthly credits and analysis tools; at US$200 per month, it is a substantial commitment for occasional searches. API credits suit users who prefer a one-time purchase, especially when usage is intermittent, while Enterprise is positioned for patent office examiners and large law firms who need a tailored solution. GoVeda also offers a 14-day trial.

Platforms

GoVeda is available on the web and through an API. Its MCP integration adds a route into Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code and other MCP clients. The combination favors users who want patent search as part of an existing AI-assisted workflow rather than a standalone web destination.

Who it's for

GoVeda is a strong fit for IP professionals and builders who need broad jurisdiction coverage, semantic discovery and AI-supported patentability work in one service. The free tier works for exploration; the paid Pro plan is more appropriate when extended analysis, longer queries and agent access justify a recurring cost. Users who need custom solutions at an organization-wide scale can consider Enterprise, while those needing only occasional API access may prefer credits that do not expire.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Coverage across 108 jurisdictions and more than 220 million publications gives international searches substantial reach.
• Pro: Unlimited free semantic searches and basic filters make it possible to start exploring without a subscription.
• Pro: Pro combines novelty, inventive-step and combination analysis with report generation and MCP access.
• Pro: GoVeda's stated model-training and API-retention practices address important concerns for sensitive invention work.
• Con: The full analysis suite costs US$200 per month, which is difficult to justify for occasional users.
• Con: Pro's FTO, landscape and IP Scout reports are marked Beta, so users should weigh that status before relying on those workflows.
• Con: Enterprise requires custom pricing, so organizations cannot compare its cost upfront.

Alternatives

Browse AI Patent Search Software for more options in this category. FindIP is worth considering if you want Android or iOS access as well as web and API options; its free plan includes 30 search credits across five jurisdictions, while Basic costs $45 a month, excluding tax. Patently offers a free web plan for one user's individual use, with filtered asset search, Onardo chat, patent-family browsing and shareable asset links, making it a narrower starting point for individual asset work.

PatLab.AI is another web-based option, with free patent searches and a one-time 49.00 USD Pro Patent Search plan. PatSnap may suit users looking for a broader technical research product: its free Basic plan includes limited technical topics, AI technical Q&A, TRIZ innovation generation and report trials, alongside a 100.00 USD-per-month Pro plan. PQAI is the alternative to consider if open-source software is a priority; it describes itself as open source and invites developer contributions.

The Lens offers free anonymous browsing and a free Academic Workspace for academic users doing non-commercial work, making it relevant when those access modes fit better. Patent77 has a free web tier capped at three AI searches per month and five references, with Pro at $49 a month; it may suit users with lighter search needs and a lower monthly budget. Stiltn offers a free Evaluation plan with full platform access, dedicated onboarding and custom configuration, for teams that want an evaluation with support before choosing a paid plan.

Verdict

Choose GoVeda if you need patent search and AI-assisted patentability work across a broad set of jurisdictions, with a free starting plan or paid Pro features. Look elsewhere if your work requires a clearly stated Enterprise price or you do not want a paid plan for Pro’s extended tools.
