On December 17, 2020, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) announced that USPTO introduced a new search tool, 'Patent E2E (End-to-End)' search tool for prior art search by US patent examiners.

Patent examination is complex in nature, but a largely predictable and aims to provide reliable intellectual property right, and prior art search is used as the basis for this task.

Therefore, strengthening the ability of patent examiners to find the best prior arts as soon as possible is to ensure both quality and timeliness, the goal of the USPTO.

The USPTO is improving relevant processes and adding search tools to enhance the ability of examiners to find prior art efficiently, while leveraging the capabilities of highly skilled staff and promoting the acquisition of relevant knowledge.


'Patent E2E', newly introduced by USTPO, is a modern web-based platform that focuses on performance and adaptability, allowing flexible search of images and texts as well as access to a vast amount of foreign documents.

In addition, by using artificial intelligence (AI), a promising new search feature has been developed as an automatic classification tool that classifies patent documents using a joint patent classification system through the use of related prior art search and machine learning such as an AI-based prototype search system. It is said that he will support the examiner.

Patent E2E will be open to the public from 2021.
