Patentscope

Hello there!

Do you know what a patent is? It's when someone creates something new or unique and wants to make sure that nobody else can copy it without their permission.

Now, imagine that there are millions of patents all over the world. It can be really hard to keep track of them all, right?

That's where Patentscope comes in! It's like a big library where you can search for patents from all over the world.

Let's say you came up with a cool invention, but you want to make sure nobody else has already thought of it. You can go to Patentscope and search for similar patents.

You might also want to file for a patent yourself, so nobody can steal your idea. Patentscope can help with that too! You can use it to search for existing patents and make sure your idea is truly unique before filing for your own patent.

So, in short, Patentscope helps people search for and protect their patents from all over the world. Pretty cool, right?
