Multilingual search

Ask in your own language and patents in other languages come back together. In FindIP, the query language is independent of the result language — however you ask, it searches all five jurisdictions (US · KR · JP · CN · EP) by meaning.

Query language ≠ result language

Keyword search hits a language wall: write in English and you find English patents; to see Japanese ones you must search again in Japanese. Semantic search turns the meaning of your sentence into a language-neutral vector, so one question matches original-language patents across five countries at once.

Supported query languages

Ask in English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, or German — results always span all five jurisdictions.

A real example

Real results from a single Korean-language query.

Query (Korean)

"A solid electrolyte that suppresses lithium dendrite growth in all-solid-state batteries"

Though asked in Korean, the results include a Japanese-language patent (JP2018510466A, SolidEnergy) alongside Korean ones. And the top hit (KR1028272620000B1) is linked as one invention across a five-country family, so you see its cross-border counterparts at a glance.
