Frequently Asked Questions
Is design patent search free?
Yes. Sign in for unlimited free Design Similarity Search and Design Registration Details during Nov 10 – Dec 10, 2026 (UTC). New and existing users are eligible, with no credits deducted. Other Nexscope tools are not included.
Can I search design patents with a product photo?
Yes. Provide a clear product photo to find visually similar designs. You do not need a patent number. Results are visually similar design-registration candidates; the search focuses on appearance, not how a product works.
Can I use a sketch instead of a photo?
Yes. A clear sketch or prototype image works too. Choose a view that shows the product’s overall shape and visible details.
How do I look up a design registration number?
Use Design Registration Details with the exact record ID returned by image search. You can also use an exact primary number, with an optional registration jurisdiction. Keep any leading zeros. An application or publication number may differ from the primary number and may not find the record.
How do I use this data with my AI agent?
Click Use in agent to copy setup and query instructions, then paste them into your AI agent. The agent reuses your Nexscope connection or guides you through setup, collects your image or record ID, and calls the service. The button copies instructions, not search results. Your agent must support the documented connection method.
Can I integrate this data into my own app?
Yes. Create a Nexscope API key and follow the API documentation. Image search accepts either a publicly accessible image URL or Base64 image data. Registration lookup accepts exact record IDs or an exact primary number. The docs include authentication, request parameters and response fields.
Which countries and design databases are covered?
Records are associated with 42 countries, plus EU regional sources. Sources and coverage vary by market; they are not complete national databases. Use the coverage list above, then check each record’s protected countries or regions.
Does a similar result mean my product infringes?
No. Visual similarity identifies a design to review, not an infringement decision. No matches do not mean you have permission to sell. Review the drawings, status and protected markets before making a decision.
