Detect design patent
risk before launch

Upload a product image and screen it against design patents across target jurisdictions. Eureka helps IP, product, and design teams surface higher-risk matches earlier for review.

Can your team spot design patent risk before launch?

A product can look ready for market and still carry hidden design patent risk. That risk often surfaces too late: a listing gets blocked, a takedown arrives, a new market triggers an unfamiliar patent landscape, or IP review happens after design decisions are already locked.

The challenge is not only finding similar images. It is knowing which design patents actually carry legal weight in the markets where you plan to sell.

Patent-grade screening
Review-ready results

Higher-risk matches, surfaced first

Not a wall of loosely similar images. Eureka ranks matches by how much they actually matter for risk review.
In a benchmarks of 261 real-world cases, Eureka achieved a 21× higher high-risk hit rate than the strongest general-purpose AI tested.

Risk compared across your target markets

A design patent that blocks your product in the US may not exist in EU. Select your target jurisdictions, and see how risk shifts across markets — so you focus review where it actually matters.

Target markets

Source-linked evidence your IP team can act on

Each match includes the original patent drawing, registration number, similarity score, legal status, and jurisdiction. Hand the results to your IP counsel or outside firm. They start from evidence, not from scratch.

Why Eureka is built for this task

Design FTO Data Foundation

It starts with what you search against

Grounded in PatSnap’s global patent data foundation, Eureka screens product designs against real design patent records, not open web images. This context is what turns a visual match into a risk judgment.

Design patent visual matching

It sees design patents the way expert does

Product photos contain visual noise: lighting, texture, angle, background. Eureka strips it away, converts images to patent-style line drawings, and matches on the structural contours that design patents actually cover.
